Does anyone what these fender to body connector thingys are called?

Bumper Holders is one name.

 

I dunno. They're a thing in the RICEr community. Please tell me you're not putting that shit on your 4R.

 

Not for looks. But I have separation at bumper/fender due to connection point inner fender broken. I've tried several things (glue, double-sided tape,) but, it won't stay. Short of replacing bumber with OEM or alternative, I'm just looking for solution. And I saw these today. So, maybe not these exactly but,...

 

Depending on the circumstance, I've had good luck with strategically drilled holes and zip ties. Sometimes have to take a lot of stuff off to get it done, but it's ended up clean and invisible.

 

A more exact name would be "quick release bumper holder"

Here's a link to some just like in your photo, but they have other styles and colors as well to choose from.

Right on! Bumper Quick Release. I’ll try again for a clean repair otherwise, … one of these.

Oh they actually have a function? I just thought they were called “dumb shits”.

 

haha, that’s funny “deltabravo” that they named them after your parents! Hilarious

 

I seem to remember seeing on YouTube that the part you described as broken is replaceable. I may be wrong on that.

Another option would be to install a rivnut or a t-nut in the broken piece behind and then fasten the bumper to it with as innocuous a piece of hardware you can find. That way you can leave the fender out of the equation. Maybe a button head machine screw.

 

Not sure what side of the car you're having problems with but I think what you need is one of the part numbers below. Just google the numbers and you'll see what they are.
