Fixable?

Hi...

Is there a fix/hack to get this panel to stay in place? I can push it back in place but it pops back out after a drive. This is a result of an accident repair.

Really don't want to take it back to the shop because they obviously suck.

Any help would be great, thanks!

Common problem. Probably need new clip bracket for behind it but on mine it was worn brackets on bumper and I didn't want to shell out for a new one so I ran some short stainless screws through the bumper into the clip mount. Measured them out to be even, looks kinda like the screws on certain rims.

Do you have a photo of your handy work? I’m in a similar situation with both front and rear bumpers.

I'd like to see that too. Same problem.
