My wagon has had a broken mount point on the drivers side since I got it... For my quick fix, I put some STRONG magnets between the bumper itself and the edge of the body immediately above the bumper. Sure as heck ain't proper, but it works and I commute on 20 miles of dirt roads daily... hasn't come off yet.

The question is...where might a fella find some STRONG magnets?

Of course, I don't let the magnets do all the work... I've got a strip of sheetmetal from a hardware store around the bumper bracket and bolted to the chassis... the magnets pretty much keep it from rattling.

If you drop me an email, I can tell you were to gitch'er some strong magnets.
