The nylon stick is to release the tabs to pop the cover

Wel i removed the bumper and found a few problems. Theres a plastic tab on the bumper thats broken... Its still there its just snapped and folded back... What should i use to repair this? Would crazy glue work or should i use an epoxy? If this tab breaks right off, the bumper wont snap in like its supposed to.. even with the new tabs, am i correct? Also theres a yab broken on the bracket as well... Here are the pics ..

Replace the black plastic piece then you should be able to straighten the red tan out and slide it into place

This might help
