Front bumper cover pushed in....

Long story but found myself in a bad spot at 3000’ in NC yesterday and had the truck kiss the bank after getting stuck. Looks ok but the front bumper cover was pushed in at one spot so that it flexed and remained pushed in in one spot. Should I leave this alone until warm weather?

 

If there’s a crease it could weaken and break over time. If not you might let it go for awhile or put a space heaters/w fan 3’ away from it until it’s warm. .02.

 

I knew I was in for it with no pics but got home late last night and no time yet.... I’ll try and post one ASAP

I might try a heat gun if I can take the bumper off but the paint is cracked so may not.... don’t want to have to get any paint work done

 

If you take it off then heat from the back side. You don’t want to melt it anyway, just warm it so it retakes it’s original shape with a little encouragement. It may take additional time under moderate heat to fully relax to that original shape afterwards. Allow it it heat slowly, be patient.

 

Thank you!
