Some of the mounting holes at the bottom of my front bumper have torn out during years of use. Not sure what the bumper cover material is but do you think your welder might be a solution? I’m on an eternal search to eliminate rattles

Hi Zibodo. The dvd that came with my kit shows how to repair torn out mounting holes as well as create entirely new tabs to replace broken/missing tabs. The key is to match the rod to the material being repaired, use the correct level of heat and follow the recommended repair technique.

There are rods included for the common bumper materials so I think the kit might address your needs. Check out the Polyvance videos on YouTube or their website for more info.
