Remove the 2 big screws on the ends.
The push the bumper against the rebar while doing this.
The carefully pry the, out with a little screw driver a little bit at a time….each wedges,

I suggest that you work on the center ones first as if you break an end one that makes it harder to keep it on..

I did not use any glue/tiger seal when fitting it all back together.

I made up a little ball with it and managed to roll the left overs off the bumper using the ball so the bumper was clean.

You make it sound like a weekly occurrence

Bolts might be a good solution

They used Natural un-vulcanized rubber rollers and as a lark I took a used set and left them on a window ledge with a large paper clip between them after about 7 weeks, it absorbed the clip. After about 6 months it turned to goo with the paper clip on the bottom.
In my misguided youth we learned the difference between Rubber seals the hard way. Rebuilt the master cyl/Clutch combo that the early MG's had….. including the Calipers and all the wheel cylinders….. Used the wrong type of Brake fluid and a week later, well lets say I had to rebuild everything again as the seals were Destroyed by Wagner Dot 3 fluid…….Natural Rubber Seals don't like the US fluid…. After cleaning and flushing everything out, started to use Castrol GT/LMA didn't have to rebuild anything ever.
