    Yup, I had this exact issue. Took it to the dealership and they replaced it under warrenty. Something about a loose clip. New bumper has been on for almost a year now with no seperation issues thus far.

    Eventually that is my plan but not quite yet. Other mods come first.

    Agreed, it'll just going get torn off since it's plastic, especially on a steep approach off roading. Put some metal up front

    I’ve ripped mine off a few times, it will clip back on usually but the problem is the clips are very fragile and stupid simple. Once it looks like that it will always look like that..... just a shitty Design. I ended up using some black self tapping screws around the perimeter to secure it until I put my replacement bumper on.

    UPDATE, my bumper is getting replaced on warranty thanks to this thread. Thanks to @pkang0915 and him having the same issue. 3 day job tho, hopefully i get a car or something to drive in the meantime. my sister said they were replacing just the bumper and not the clip, not sure which part is which.
