Any suggestions for securing a grill that is loose due to broken tabs?

Passenger side grill is loose,....it actually fell out at the car wash today. I have it secured with some wire ties at the moment.

I thought I would secure it with some RTV silicone adhesive unless someone here has a better way to address this. I figured the Silicone would be strong enough to hold it, and still be easily removed if I decide to do a different grill in the future.

I had to do that too - if you can't bend the metal tabs on the car or otherwise get it to hold, then silicone glue is fine. Then we hit a deer and broke it, so I ordered a new one and it fit right

Get a new one, or a bottle of super glue.

Double sided tape can work too.

3M red body panel tape should put it in place for as long as you'll need. It is used for body moldings etc.
I picked my last roll up on fleaby for good money.
