so I noticed my first problem is my vortech washer fluid tank was hitting my bumper on the relief for the parking lamp...


so I trimmed bumper



next I removed my NEW TSB BRACKET that didn't work for me and cut of the notch the is "suppose" to hold the first tab on the bumper...


then I took my "shelf hanging tab" from LOWES and cut a relief for it in the bumper bracket

NOTE!!!! DO THE BEST YOU CAN OF MAKING SURE
THE NEW TAB WILL BE IN THE SAME LOCATION AS FACTORY NUB
TOO FAR BACK AND THE BUMPER WILL NOT HOLD TOO FAR FORWARD AND THE BUMPER WILL STICK OUT. I HAVE TO REDO MY DRIVER SIDE FOR I MADE THAT MISTAKE.


then first I super glued it in place



I prepped area for epoxy


used this epoxy $40 epoxy from LOWES will work too



here is the modified bumper bracket installed. NOTE THE NEW METAL TAB MUST BE CUT TO CORRECT HEIGHT. WHICH I MADE THE EXACT HEIGHT TO MATCH THICKNESS OF BUMPER TAB.



AND IT WORKED..... SNAPS INTO PLACE.

ALSO THE MULTIPLE REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE BUMPER AFTER THIS MOD COULD RUIN THE BUMPER TAB ITSELF SO TAKE CARE WHEN INSTALLING AND REMOVING MAKE SURE NEW TAB HAS NO SHARP EDGES
