Front bumper clip repair?

My sister in law's fits bumper clip is messed up on the driver side. To be exact it the clip/hole that the screw goes in the bumper right by the wheel. I can push the clips back in but a couple days of driving and the bumper is hanging out by the fender again. Is there any possible fix?

Thanks

I'd say to replace them. Only a few dollars US, each.

If you are really, really cheap, :-), you could swap the loose one with one from a different position under the bumper. Be aware, however, that there are different "depths" of clip depending on how many sheets of plastic they need to "capture".



The ones that continue to come loose are probably broken or worn on the inside.
