    I have 2018 DCLB TRD OR. I am attempting to do a bit of deep cleaning on it. There were some good sized gravels stuck behind the grille, and in removing them I managed to push back the flange (?not sure of the term) that abuts the fog light mount. :facepalm:D1F3B766-8290-45FC-9FC9-B283C7FD3D07.jpg
    what is the best/simplest way to reattach it? Nothing is broken. I got underneath and though I have small hands, can’t seem to get up in there to push it back into place.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Cool, I am glad ya got it fixed. I remembered that happening, back when I had a front bumper, but couldn't remember how the heck I fixed it.

    Someone wise once told me, “when all else fails get a bigger hammer”.
