Tab Saver Kit

The Tab Saver Kit makes it quick and easy for technicians to repair rectangular slot tabs and recessed holes found on bumper covers, headlights, fender liners, and more. These tabs are weak and often break in light collisions or when removing the parts from vehicles. Tab Savers make fixing these problem areas simple.

Without the aid of the Tab Saver Kit, repairing slot tabs with a nitrogen plastic welder is difficult, time-consuming and requires skill and finesse. Additionally, technicians often have difficulty restoring the correct dimensions of the slot, which is critical for proper panel installation. With the Tab Saver Kit, precision tab repair is made easy.

Why Choose the Tab Saver?

  • Repairs Torn Slots & Recessed Holes: Quickly restores damaged slot tabs and fastener holes in bumper covers, fender liners, headlights, and more
  • Boosts Shop Efficiency: Speeds up challenging repairs, helping increase workflow and overall profitability
  • Eight Precision Slot-Forming Dies: Designed to fit virtually all common slot tab widths for versatile repair applications
  • Confident, Strong Repairs: Slot tab dies create a stable backing surface, making it easy to bridge gaps and restore original shape
  • Recessed Hole Repair Made Easy: Dedicated pin die and matching pliers simplify the repair of recessed and flush holes used for push-type retainer clips
  • Precision Slot Placement: Special die designs ensure accurate edge alignment for secure clip retention
  • Reduces Tapering: Custom die plier jaws minimize tapering when forming the melted plastic for cleaner, more professional repairs
  • Made in the USA: Designed and manufactured in the United States for quality and reliability

How to Use

  1. Find matching die: Find the forming die that best matches the width of the broken slot tab. Prepare the plastic for welding by cleaning with Polyvance Super Prep or EcoPrep. Taper the front sides of the slot with a grinder or sander.
  2. Tape forming die into position: Insert the selected forming die into the damaged slot and line up the inward edges of the tab and slot. Tape into position with a piece of 6485 aluminum tape.
  3. Weld: Use your preferred plastic welding rod (It’s usually wise to choose the thinnest and narrowest rod) and weld from one side to the other in a continuous pass, welding the plastic welding rod into the bumper on both sides. Make a second or third pass as needed to match the substrate thickness or slightly more.
  4. Reheat: After welding, immediately reheat the welding rod with the nitrogen welder until the plastic is translucent.
  5. Flatten with pliers: Immediately squeeze the melted plastic with the forming pliers. Apply gentle pressure and hold for about 10 seconds to cool plastic. The technique is the same for round hole repairs, except the die pin is centered in the hole. When squeezing the pliers over the die, select the dimple die side of the pliers if the repair requires a recessed area for the push-in retainer or the smooth side if a smooth top is required.
  6. Remove die, shape as needed: Allow the weld to cool completely, then remove aluminum tape and push the die out of the hole. Shape the repaired area as needed with the airless plastic welder, utility knife, grinder, and/or sander until desired dimensions are restored.

Shipped quickly and as described
It was what I expected as functionality, lightweight and easy to move about. I plan to use it in my enclosed patio to obscure weight bench and wts. My only complaint is that the bamboo cover on one edge is not secure. But I will probably use a magic marker to cover the natural back that is showing. I don’t have time to return it as my event is coming soon.

Good product, needs double hinges for versatility.
Size: 6 Panel, Color: Brown
Blocks out all the light, looks good, good color. Only con is that it is not double hinged so it is hard to position the extra panels because I bout 6 panels instead of the 4 I usually get. Good deal, very decent price with the free delivery. Very clean packaging, came in great shape, no smell or odor from the factory.

Very Pleased with Room Divider
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Brown
This room divider is even better than I expected. It's sturdy but is lightweight enough that I could get the box up a flight of stairs with no problem whatsoever. It folds and unfolds easily and is very easy to move. And there's no assembly required! It really is woven and is quite attractive. The main reason I chose this item was price (although I did like the way it looked) and I got more for my money than I thought I would.

Works well
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Coal Black
i bought this for 3 reasons. 1. Privacy when changing so I don't have to lock dog out of room. 2. In case MIL comes over and wants to snoop. She won't be able to see my bedroom. 3. A nice backdrop to use when taking photos of the clothing I make. This is perfect for me. My only "complaint" is that it is not the most sturdy thing. I have to finagle it in a way that keeps it from falling over. But for the price, it can't be beat!

Cheap and unstable
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black
Although this has nothing to do with the product, it arrived a day later than previously stated. Making me have to create a makeshift room divider the day it was actually needed. When the product arrived it arrived in a box that showed no evidence of damage. Once opened, divider was found inside a plastic cover. Great protector for dust or scratching. The divider was fully assembled so there was nothing for me to do but remove it from packaging and use it where needed. After further inspection the divider was not only cheap and flimsy looking it was absolutely unstable. It would wobble and appears to have been assembled in a rush making some panels crooked. I noted significant damage to the bottom portion of some of the panels both front and back. It does not feel like an item worth the price. The color is as advertised and the product had no smell. The sizing was accurate.
