Default Bumperette Repair?

My '87 has the wide bumperettes on the rear fender. Two out of 3 threaded studs have sheared on each of them, so I really can't safely reattach them as-is. A couple of the breaks are below the surface of the bumperette. My understanding is the studs are welded to a plate that is cast into the rubber, although I do not know how deep the plate is.

Anyone here in Dorkiland repair theirs in the past, or have them done by someone else that you can recommend?

Thanks
