Default bumper valance

Does anyone have any sugestions about how to make a valance stay in place? mine falls off it seems if I hit a blade of grass with it. I had thought of taking it off, but then there is that horizontal line of holes where it snaps into. The clips simply will not hold it up. Does anyone have any ideas, Aside from putting a million little screws in it?

Mine is held on with some nuts, bolts, and washers.

I think you are talking about the little plastic doo hickies that go thru the valance and push into the bumper. That is where I located the hardware in mine. I just drilled the holes a touch larger and bolted it fast.

I cant think of anything other then some whoop *** double sided tape that a company like 3m would produce. but I wouldnt trust it. Although it does hold people bug deflectors, rear spoilers, and countless other things fast. It may be worth a shot if you do not want to drill or screw.

Hope this helps.
