Unfortunately, some front-end, lower, plastic parts are damaged on our 2019 TourX Essence. Looks like the syguy has been in there 1768057578746.webp

Fortunately, I was able to drive it as-is the remaining 25 miles to our destination that day, and then back home about 300 miles a week later. Things work and lights are aligned as before.
Questions:
If it's not flapping-around, and I've been able to put the plastic back to where it wants to be, and I'm not concerned with how it looks for now - do you think I can let it be for now?
What fastener goes in the middle of the (RADIATOR SUPPORT. SPLASH SHIELD?) - it seems that plastic shield is "no longer available" per GM Parts Direct.

Thank you all, and Happy New Year.
 
i'd probably try zip-tying where the tabs are compromised, just to be safe. You could probably hide them pretty well....
 
Get some of these to hold things together and you should be fine. Drill some holes on both sides of the crack on the underside cover to tie them together.
