It's another sad tale of the rubber strip on the (83 300D) bumper loosening, and departing from the plastic mounting strips. I therefore bought replacement mounting strips, foolishly believing that I could simply reattach the rubber strip to them. But no...as in most of these simple things, there's a trick, and I don't know what it is...how about some procedural advice from the vast diesel conspiracy?
