on the fender there shoud be some place where the bumper slides into a bracket or is fastened in some fashion. you dont want to use glue because there needs to be some flex between bumper and fender due to the differance in material. i guess you could use double sided tape but i wouldnt doubt it if it didnt last but a week or two. There should be some sort of physical connection i.e. bracked, nut-bolt ect.

I checked and it use like brackets but it also has some kind of adhesive all around the bracket because I can see where it is separated.

vhb double stick tape. They use that stuff to hold aluminum panels on the side of skyscrappers, it will hold for you. Its the same stuff that holds most emblems and moldings on cars.

My 6LE valance is the same way on the passenger corner. It's probably from the heat and humidity from Florida.
