The W123's in the pick-a-part near you had good W123 bumpers when I was there last month...

I had to redo my front bumper trim repair today, as the construction

sealant which has been recommended online for various attachment needs.
Once the bumper trim loosened, all the tabs broke leaving the trim
hanging off the bumper, only being held on by the license plate bolts.
The plan was to glue the inner plastic trim mount to the bumper, and not
worry about it for a decade. I also put a screw in the end of the trim,
last mounting tab, to hold it tight.

Hopefully, this round works fine. The pic is just the tape holding the
trim in place.

I also replaced my truck lock Actuator and have a working vacuum system
again.

The Blue tape adds a decorative touch, but you'll probably have to replace it frequently.
