Grab handle broke, suggestions for fix? (Imco)

Will hit 100k next month and the grab handle finally broke (wife did it, ...SHHHHHH don't tell or I'll get in ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE!!! )

Anyone tried these bushings?

Are they just glued on to the post?
Any other suggestions?

I used a DIY repair kit some posted using an electrical copper end cap. I worked on the passengers side great. On the drivers side I bought a new pillar for about $28. I t looks improved from the older version and has worked great. Don't forget to torgue the screws. I think they are 55 inch-pounds.

Thanks guys, looks like the Genos kit is the Imco product. Wonder why the kit includes eight bushings? For the rear too? Also wondering what adhesive they use...

I searched for that and couldn't find much on it. Do you bond that on as well? What adhesive works best?
