Screw holes broken
Hey guys,
Not sure if the title accurately describes the issue, but I have an issue with my front bumper where the hole for the self tapping screw behind the wheel well is broken. The hole essentially is broken, as part of the plastic has come off, so I only have about 3/4 of the hole remaining. Does anyone have a solution i.e. using gorilla glue or bondo to repair so that the screw has something to latch onto?

When I was still lurking the Si forum, a lot of those owners reported the same problem with the bumper. A quick fix was to epoxy a washer in what was left of that spot to reform/reinforce the hole.
