Ok guys, I've got a bit of a problem. The weatherstrip retaining clip on my Cutlass, lost the bumper, and leaves a rather sharp edge poking out waiting to cut someone's hand. How it came off and where it came off I don't know. I ordered the clip shown in the photo thinking, no big deal to take the bumper off the metal, and using weatherstrip glue, placing it on the metal clip that's still attached to my car. I've quickly found out that it doesn't slide off.
Apparently this bumper coming off the clip is not uncommon, and I was wondering if anyone has had this issue and how you managed to take the bumper off. The clip itself is pop riveted in place. My problem with pop riveting the thing back in place is my roof rail weatherstips have been replaced in the not to distant past and have been glued down completely.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Oh, on the photo of the clip that's still on the car, note that there appears to be NO adhesive used to keep the bumper on the clip.
Thanks again to all who have any suggestions.
