I had a similar problem a few years ago like that, but I actually broke mine off. Yours is still attached, so that's a good thing! Here's what to do... From behind, use a solder gun or a wood carver (some kind of tool that heats up) and melt it together along the crack. Don't melt it on the front side because it would look pretty bad then. I did that with mine and it held up great. Also, mine was completely detached so it had to support itself, where as yours will stay much easier!

epoxy is what I would do. Might even find something flexible and epoxy it on the back to help strenghten it from behind to.

Seems like when I screwed mine up on my 97 it was < $20 for a new one and it came color matched already... So I would say you have lots of choices.

The Bumper Trim Is Fixed, I Just Got A $4.00 Tube Of Epoxy And Glued It Back Together. If It Breaks Again I'm Going To Do The Modded Bumper Trim HenryJ Posted A Picture Of.

I Removed The Whole Piece To Take It Inside Where It Was Warm To Do The Repair, What A "PITA" That Was. I Had The Front Skid Plate Off While I Was Under There And Noticed My Oil Filter Lines Are Leaking Too :x .

I Don't Mind All These Repairs But I Need Some Warmer Weather To Work In. I'm Supposed To See Some Snow Here Tomorrow :cry: Man I Can't Wait For Summer!!
