Front bumper problem

I removed my bumper the other day and discovered that the tabs on the bumper (the part the screws go through to secure it) have been ripped/damaged. Has anyone had this problem? Any easy solution?

i can get my bumper back on but it slides around some and isnt totally secure. I cant get it completely flush because of this.

I wouldnt worry about those.

when ur parking a car and drive in too far (where your tires touch the parking block), sometimes bumpers get stuck on them and when u reverse, they pull the bumper out which is the reason why those tabs are broken.

For the OP, looks like ur bumper was completely torn/pulled out that why most of them are bad and ur bumper slides around. U can get a heat gun, heat up the tabs, bring them back to shape and if they're torn, get another piece of plastic and melt it on there as if u were gluing them together.
