Repairing a Slot Tab with the Bumper Pliers Kit

The rectangular slot tabs and recessed holes commonly found on bumper covers are designed to clip into brackets on the quarter panels, securely holding the bumper in place. However, these tabs are easily torn in a collision and are often weak enough to break when removing the bumper.

Polyvance's 6146 Bumper Pliers Kit makes repairing these tabs and recreating their original dimensions easier. The kit includes four customized pliers and seven forming dies: six dies of varying widths and one three-sixteenths inch die for creating round recesses. The matching pliers flatten the melted welding rod, ensuring a quick and durable repair. This video demonstrates how to repair two different tabs using the Bumper Pliers Kit.
