how to fix broken tab on oem grill

Bought an oem grill off of ebay & one of the tabs broke when it was delivered. Any ideas on what type of adhesive would work to bond the piece back on the grill. Thanks in advance.

if it's just one I would not worry about.

The others will hold the grille in place.

You could try gluing it but I doubt it'll hold.

the tab is quite thin and if you put some kind of adhesive on it and make it thicket it will not fit into the hole in the bumper.

Aftermarket grilles come without them at all. So you should be fine with only one of them broken off.
