Headlight guard repair.

Morning all.

Ive done a search. But havent seen anything.

The headlight guards for a replacement of terrafirma ones are best part of £150. Which i think is crazy 🤷‍♂️.

Anyways. Has anyone repaired a set successfully?

The little tabs under the grill have snapped and i want to try repair first. Before i buy new.

Any ideas or pics of what people have done in the past.

Bought a hot stapler. You melt the metal strips into the plastic. Chop them off then rub it down.

Missing multiple tabs. So will keep an eyebout to replace them in the future. But for now. It isnt flapping around.
