What is best way to fix this loose bumper?

Question

Under the passenger side headlight of my car you can see the front bumper is hanging loose as a result of hitting humps.

I've seen youtube videos of people just gluing it back or using strings.

Is the glue method effective or not or is it something that comes loose again?

What would you recommend for a cheap, quick yet effective diy repair.

My main concern is I dont want the bumper to fall off when driving.

Plastic Cable Ties/Zip-Ties are cheap and durable. If the bumper cover is damaged so proper mounting can't be accomplished, I'd use Zip-Ties for a cheap but semi-permenant fix.

Use any manner of twist drill bit (HSS, Cobalt, etc) to make hole(s) in the plastic bumper to accommodate the Zip-Ties, loop them around what's available.

Obviously the best repair would be to replace the bumper cover and attach it properly. You could call around to some junkyards and see if they have one in your color.

I hope this helps.
