You can buy replacements...... you have to take the old one off and weld the new one on. I will be doing this soon.

You have to drill the factory spotwelds then weld the new one on.

I would try a grinder first so you dont have to fill the holes with a welder. On the thin stuff it can be a bitch. (atleast for welding skills)

Im talking about the holes left in the metal that stays on the car.
