Rear Bumper Lower Tabs Broken

hey guys,
I haven't found anybody else with this problem because I'm sure everyone is more careful than I am. I took off my rear bumper not too long ago and I didn't realize there were two tabs next to each other on the bottom of my rear bumper( in the middle ). The two tabs broke off cleanly from the rear bumper, so I was wondering what you would suggest to use to put it back together. I've tried Krazy glue and will try a hot glue gun later today. Do you think the hot glue gun would work? or should i find another solution.

ty for your help. if there is a thread about this, let me know what search terms you used and flame on me.

I always wondered if they sold those tabs somewhere to replace those, but I never asked anyone. I recommend using some JB weld. That stuff has kept many a Jon Boat water tight after the aluminum cracked. It is great epoxy for most plastic products and will bond to metal when it cures. If you ever need to take ur bumper back off, just use a razor blade to scrape the epoxy off. Just a suggestion, but it might work well if you try it.
