What to Do If the Front Bumper Clip Breaks?

If the damage is severe, for driving safety, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop for replacement. Use a heat gun to heat and melt the damaged clip position, then use welding rods or sticks to fix the new bumper clip in the repaired position.

I personally experienced this situation a few years ago. At that time, I accidentally scraped the roadside curb while driving, causing all the front bumper clips to snap instantly. The entire bumper was wobbling. I tried using tape as a temporary fix, but it didn’t work well and affected the appearance. Later, I bought replacement clips online and fixed it myself. Actually, this issue is quite common—clips often break due to plastic aging or external impact. First, you need to assess the extent of the damage. For minor breaks, you can use nylon zip ties or strong adhesive as an emergency fix to prevent loosening while driving. For severe damage, it’s better to replace the parts directly. Auto parts stores usually sell OEM or aftermarket clips, and it’s not difficult to DIY, saving hundreds in repair costs. During regular maintenance, pay attention to the bumper connections and avoid hard acceleration on bumpy roads to prevent premature clip failure.
