How do I fix this?

Do I have to remove the entire bumper? I had a run in with a curb...

Is just the black fender clip broken or did the bumper tear too? If its just the clip you just need a new one and it will snap right back together.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like just the clip. Do you know what the clip is called or ideally the part?

Wow thanks so much. Was it hard to replace/repair?

I had to replace one as well it's not too difficult. You will need to break the old one off the fender and simply snap the new one on. I had my bumper off when I replaced it but that's because I was doing some other work. I think you might be able to just replace the broken clip and snap the bumper back into place without doing much else.

Yep. As above. If there are any remnants of the old bumper clip, you'll have to remove it and then just snap the new one on. I basically had to destroy the old one to get it off. Pretty simple and self-explanatory.

Just fyi, you will have to use some force. I wound up using pliers to break apart the top piece of the plastic bumper clip. It won't come out in one big piece. The new one snaps right into place and re-installation is a breeze.
