If you carefully pull on and remove the three brown pieces that are still on the car body, you can glue them back to where they pulled off. I used a thin layer of "gorilla super glue" and they have stayed put through the winter.

I see your snow brush is still in your car - is it spring yet? (I'm in Boston too)

You could probably also use an automotive adhesive for body stuff like spoilers. A more thorough repair might be using an epoxy and cover the edges of the brown plastic parts with the clip.

I guess start with something and go from there. I like the gorilla super glue because it seems tougher to cracking (which they claim), compared to regular cheap superglue. I use it for a lot of DIY projects around the house too.

Here in Toronto / Southern Ontario, we just got 7 inches of the white stuff last night! More on the way Wednesday! Isn't it spring already?!

Hey Toronto!

It's in the mid 80's here in Tx with 90 expected Sunday. Top down daze with my e93.

Toronto is a great visit...enjoyed the CN Tower, museums, underground shopping malls and a restaurant on Yonge St. that served steaks with pickles. Howz the Blue Jays doin'?

The Blue Jays just started their season at 2-0. On track to another good season I hope!

Man, I can't imagine how nice the weather must be down in TX...
