Default Panel came loose(Ran over curb)
I ran over a curb and this panel came loose. I think the clips that held it together broke off. I was going to take it to a body shop but what would you guys do? Would some epoxy hold it together?

Just pop it in, push in in a lifting motion.

There's a screw that secures the plastic bumper there to the rear quarter panel. There's a white clip that goes between the two. If the clip is broken, locate a random loose small bolt & nut and secure the two pieces together with it. There's always zip ties too!

Did you have the screw or bolt to tighten them up together?
