After thirteen wonderful years, I'm really getting tired of brittle plastic and failed adhesives. I currently have three issues:

The hard back covers on my front comfort seats both have fallen off. The plastic clips come unglued, they don't break. Is there a recommended adhesive to put them back?

I have one headlight in which the low beam lens is very foggy (on the inside.) Is there a way to remove the whole headlight and clean it through the bulb opening? Cotton ball on a stick? Alcohol?

After 224,000 miles, the front bumper has been off a few times for various timing belt, water pump, etc. repairs. Now the passenger side seems to be about two or three millimeters lower than the driver's side. Yeah, I know, big deal, but it bothers me. Seems like the clip on the passenger side next to the front wheel just isn't holding it up securely. Is there anything to be done about that?

id just replace all of it itll set you back about 800 bucks but itll be worth it, to get to cleaning the lense ull need a heat gun and silicone, and as far as the adheasive for the seat which you can get at a junk yard for like 40 bucks, id use epoxy.

for the bumper just screw it in on the end with a drill and a small screw works on mine without it id be bumper-less

 

I dunno, I can get a heat gun and silicone for way, way less than 800 bucks. I might be able to get an aftermarket knockoff for 250 or so, I just wanted to avoid that. So far so good with the seat using cyanoacrylate (super glue). I wouldn't assume I can find a decent looking ecru seat back even at Shokan. The bumper almost looks like there is a place for a screw. But what do you screw it into?

 

Your bumper may sit lower for various reasons. One way you can try to fix it is by adjusting the height on the black shock tubes which extend out from the car, which the bumper sits on and screws into. The round aluminum ring with the rubber insert actually spins and can be turned, via pipe wrench, to adjust the sitting height of the bumper. The headlight can be disassembled. First remove it from car, might have to remove bumper to get to one hidden screw off to the side, which holds headlight in. Then unclip all those metal clips around the headlight, should be five? Then the plastic lens piece can be cleaned and refinished with some plastic abrasive cleaners or headlight restore kit. The seat covers can be put back on with contact cement or super glue. Contact cement would most likely do it. There you go.
