New $1K bumper with the same freakin design problems! No Thanks!

I hate to say it, but the root cause isn't the bumper.

I'm not thinking I'd blame the engineers.....the previous owner of my A4 sideswiped something backing up and split the front bumper. I had great success using 3M Duramix glue to glue the bumper back together. I'm not sure you have enough to work with, but hopefully you do. If there is enough to glue together, I'd recommend this.

Otherwise look for a used bumper cover....good luck<ul><li><a href="http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3MAutomotive/Aftermarket/Products/Product-Catalog/?PC_7_RJH9U5230GE3E02LECFTDQCEK3_nid=ZWH06WLVRFbeD DC4KLKK5Wgl">Click</a></li></ul>

unfortunately the ripped body panel area is gonna be the weak spot from the upward force...

I guess my next question would be: Why never a problem on my other cars?

GBW

maybe you can apply it to the A6

WOWDee

never had any problems with any cars i have ever driven in this regard ..... and that includes a ton of rentals ..... what were they thinking?????

GBW

one time, sure blame the car. Three times....it's not the car.
