I am not sure what it is called, that heavy-duty plastic thing that fits
under the front bumper, and looks like a second lower bumper. Perhaps it is
is some kind of protective shield against dust and pebbles.
Anyway, after a collision, one end of this plastic bumper came lose. The
only way to fix it was with glue, since the screw hole was split. I tried
several glues, but it came loose each time. My town is world-famous for
having the worst potholes in the civilized world, but does not wish to
overly publicize the fact, for some mysterious reason, perhaps connected to
city attorney's salaries.
Finally, I tried DevvCon Plastic Welder (3500 PSI), and it worked - so
far.
I did a Google Search for "strongest glue," and found that some people
think that Fas-Stick #110 is the world's strongest glue. Maybe I'll get some
and see. The website is:

No information about sturdy ole #110 on website,though. Price unknown.
Fasco Unlimited of Hialeah, Inc. (I wonder if they glue horseshoes?)

What I have found to be 100% weather proof Will with stand blazing sun heat and
take hard impacts is GE Silicone II and you can find it at Lowes or any hardware
store.

Now's I've used the silicone II for outdoor caulking, but do you think
it will work in this application?

Unlike a hard cured material that under stress of impact cracks and fails. The GE
SiliconeII does not get hard but still froms a strong bond.
