Default Rear bumper

I was under the vet today, checking out an annoying rattling coming from my my exhaust. Thankfully it was just a couple of loose bolts.

Anyway, I noticed that my rear facia is only being supported from the bottom by 1 of the 4 connection points. And my question is, what do I use to reattach the bottom part of the facia?

Happens to the best of us! :)

"Push-in Retainer" - GM Part No. 5973400 - $1.12 each

Or do like I did and match it up at your local auto parts store. There they were $1.99 for a package of two. Slightly tighter fit, but I figured that was a good thing! :)
