Front bumper issue

Front bumper coming unconnected. Looking for easy fix

 

*gently pushes on the bumper* *click*

 

Welcome To TW...

 

It won’t stay clicked in to place

 

Did one of the tabs snap?

 

is the bumper broken or the clips....been hit?

 

Doesn’t look broken but has been taken off a few times before

 

i would skip the run around and order the clips at the dealer

 

Are you talking about the black block as the clip

 

Take it off if you can and make sure that none of the tabs are bent on the bumper or on the other panel. sometimes the plastic ones can get misaligned and bent when you try and press it back on.

 

Yeah my guess is a few of the retaining clips are probably trash

 

If you can’t fix it, it’s time for an aftermarket bumper.

 

It’s above the cutline for most aftermarket bumpers…

 

True but they sell paintable bumper sections that go under the headlight that account for that

 

For another $350 or $150 + whatever it costs to paint and match.

I’m just saying that it’s an awfully expensive solution for a simple problem (likely replacing retaining clips).

 

That black block clip sits over a tab on the headlights and it's both held in place with a (correct me if I'm wrong) 10mm bolt. If the tab on the headlight is broken, the bumper won't have any thing to hang onto so it'll droop. Did you switch out the headlights recently?

 

For sure!
