reinstalling a bumped bumper

    My wife's 1993 240 wagon got bumped in a parking lot today, knocking
    the front plastic bumper cover askew. Looks like someone ulling into
    the next parking space misjudged and hit the bumper while driving into
    the space. One of the screw mounting tabs underneath is broken, so
    the cover will have to be replaced. In the interim, though, I'd like
    to have it back as close to normal as possible.

    On the driver's side, where the bumper was bumped, there is no visible
    bent or scraped metal. In fact there seems to be no structural damage
    other than the broken tab under the bumper. There is a sort of "T"
    shaped plastic mount on the fender behind the bumper cover, which
    appears to slide into a white plastic channel on the cover. This has
    been popped out, and there doesn't seem to be a convenient way to put
    the "T" back into the channel and to keep the end of the bumper from
    flapping.

    Does anybody know the simplest way to accomplish this? Thanks!
