Front rubber mount installation
 
I'm going to re-install my front bumper rubber mount this weekend. Wondering if anyone has had to do this before and knows how to get it to seat in the mounting brackets completely. The old one was held in with a tie wrap, do I need to hold the new one on in a similar manner?

You shouldn't need to do that - the rubber should fit around the metal reinforcing bracket if I remember correctly. It depends on the condition of the rubber and the bracket however!

Okay I'll attempt installation this weekend. Thanks!

it's been a while since I've done one, but the rubber has opposing directional tabs that hold it into the bumper, and the outer edges of the bumper hold everything still.

The rubber part (#66) has a channel that fits over a couple of plastic pieces [#63] (with opposing tabs) that fit into the bumper. When I did the rear strip on my CD, I used some kite string to hold the two plastic pieces in place while I hammered the rubber part on, fitting it in the side pieces. A search may find the thread.

Here's a write-up I did when I fixed the strip on my CD.
