These stainless steel plates are designed to repair damaged side tab attachment holes for the OEM Ford FG FGX rear bumper.
This is a new and improved design, not only to repair the broken damaged tabs on the front bumper, but to address the common 'bumper hanging out'. This issue may be caused from the tabs not hooking onto the plastic retainer hooks. This improved design features an added metal tab on the plates to act as a 'hook' which helps the bumper tabs hook onto the retainers to improve the connection. See close up photos to see the extra thickness on the ‘bridges’.
The design of the plates feature a slit which allows the plate to be installed on the bottom of the bumper tabs in which has a plastic piece that would otherwise be in the way (as shown in the photos).
The plates have side tabs which can be bent and stuck to side of the bumper for extra support.
To install, simply sand down & clean surfaces on the damaged bumper tabs and the repair plates. Then simply glue the plates in place. Apply evenly spread pressure with clamps whilst it’s drying.
Recommended adhesive: JB Weld Plastic Bonder 25mL Black 50139 (not included).
It is recommended for maximum strength, that the plates are installed underneath the OEM bumper tabs.
