It appears that the chrome trim along the bottom of this grill has come loose?
I only just noticed it and wonder if there is a simple/best fix to bond back to the main grill?

I see posts mentioning plastic welding, MEK, etc...
and maybe any of these are okay, just thought I'd post in case there was another thought.

Tabs that bend over behind the grille broke off. Glue it or get new trim piece. If the tab is still there it can be spot welded back on but the trim will have to be removed. eithe way the grille has to come out.
 

If I can recall, I think I repaired mine on the car by taking a small piece of sheet metal about a half inch wide and bent it into a little "J" shape. I glued the flat end to the bottom of the chrome trim and hooked the curved end around the plastic. I then put something like a socket right in front of the trim to give it pressure pushing toward the back of the car and used a zip tie to hold it all together while the glue dried.
