Must the bumper clip be replaced?

[McFinn]

Bumper clips do not necessarily need to be replaced. If a bumper clip is broken, it can still be used without replacement. This will not affect the vehicle's performance but may result in a larger gap between the bumper and the body, affecting aesthetics. If the clip is broken, it can also be repaired yourself. Bumper clip repair method: 1. Prepare repair tools: plastic welding rods, plastic welding gun, utility knife, soldering iron; 2. Remove the engine undercover. If possible, avoid removing it to reduce workload, but removal makes installation easier; 3. Use a heat gun to melt and flatten the damaged part, then blend it together with welding rods and sticks; 4. Secure the new bumper clip in place and use a utility knife for final adjustments after fixing; 5. Reassemble all components.
