Busted three of them, and the three on top as well. They only broke on one end, so unless you look you can't tell they're busted, but I can't use them to secure the plate anymore. Jerk detailer just looked at me when I explained he busted my front grill - no more business for him!

Thanks for this DIY, I'm hopeful I can use this since I haven't found a glue that will rebond the grill teeth. For everyone out there, WARN YOUR DETAILER TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT YOUR PLATE, OR JUST REMOVE IT BEFORE YOU GIVE IT TO THEM!

No more business for him??? I'd say he owes you an installed grill & a no cost detailing job
