Im not real clear on which piece is buggered. Is it the one in the bumper
or the piece of extension that goes in the bumper?
If its the one in the bumper you may have to pull bumper so you can get to
it easily and try to reform it, if its the chack ectension piece you could
use a piece of square key stock from l;ocal parts shop and beat it into the
end after shaving some of the corners off to get tit starts in.
