The front of my car is falling off

The bottom of my 88s bumper is falling off. Please see attached pic. The PO apparently used some type of adhesive that is beigeish and it makes the car look much worse. I know it doesnt look like a big deal in the photos, but it has gotten a lot worse since it scrapes every since curve now. Any ideas for this sagging strip of rubber? I was thinking some type of flat black colored durable weatherproof adhesive may work. Please LMK if this has happened to others and what they did.

Thanks

From the picture it is kind of hard to make out, but you should be able to reapply it with weatherstripping adhesive. A tip for the future, dont put up so far in the parking space as to drag the front end over the curb, keep it back like a foot and it will not catch anymore. These cars aren't all that long so you should not have to worry about the back end sticking out in the way of other cars. Hope this helps

or back into parking spots.

did you lose the loop that's used to attach it to the rest of the car? you might be able to fabricate some way to zip tie it in place.

I'm not really sure. It was already coming off when I bought it (about a month ago) and now its really sagging. I can hear it scrape pulling into my driveway now. I am looking for an unnoticeable semi-permanent fix. I think I will look for some type of black weatherstripping adhesive. Its on both sides too Thanks for the help!
