    I hit a deer recently. She was a fawn and I still feel like crap. That being said, the damage was minimal. I’m missing the passenger side inner support that’s riveted on. The exploded views aren’t very clear to me. Anyone know the correct part name?
    Also, the rivets for the passenger side outer support are loose. Anyone find a way to tighten them up without removing the bumper cover?

    The first photo is the bracket that’s missing. I just need to identify which it is in the exploded view.

    Also here is the riveted support that I need to tighten. There is no room to swing a hammer or grab both sides of the rivet and squeeze.

    You'll most likely have to remove the bumper cover to get to this.

    Those come already on the Bumper Beam. The bracket itself looks fine, maybe just get new rivets and drill the old ones out.

    I went with an after market Beam when I fixed mine but the quality was pretty bad. Things don't quite line up exactly some I used zip ties to attach the bumper cover.

    Thanks, Rockford. Thinking about it, since the rivets aren’t real loose I may just try to wrap some wire under the “washer” part to tighten them up.

    I’m not pulling the bumper cover. Most likely now I’ll fab a replacement bracket and attach it to replace the missing one.
