    I removed the air dam on my 20 Sport. Now the bottom of the front bumper cover is loose and rattles a bit. Has anyone done anything about that?
    Does the OR have a trim piece there or something to keep it from rattling? (since it doesn't come with an air dam)

    Thanks

    It has nothing to do with the chin strap. The clip design for that is just not great.

    After mine got wiggly from wheeling, I added two almost unseen lathe screws. It is tighter than ever on the upper side. Just be sure to hold the chin piece in position as you install the screws.

    Sounds like a good excuse for a plate bumper and winch to me.

    I didn't, but it didn't appear they'd help anything. Seemed to just go through clips on the plastic,. Not mounting to anything solid. I'll look again though.
