    I really didn't want to make this thread but apparently no one else had had issues.

    I took the rear bumper caps off to paint them. While putting them back on I'm having trouble pushing all the plastic pins back in. Two of them went easy. The hard to get ones, luckily. The rest I can't get in no matter how hard I push. Do you have to squeeze something down? What am I missing?

    Are those the clips that you have to pull apart/pop out? Hold the head and pull the bottom. Sounds weird and someone will prolly make a joke but try that out.
