    Hi All,

    So... I had a brain fart moment today where I reversed into my garage since contractors are taking up space in driveway and couldn't come in face first. I backed into the garage pole. Thankfully no real damage has been done to rear right bumper other than the fact it is about 1 inch in on the passenger side. How can I remove the silver bumper caps and bumper to adjust the bumper so that it is even again.

    Thank you...

    Do a search for bumper gap. There are threads to adjust for the factory misalignments. Basically it is remove the black top cover and there are bolts/nuts behind. Near where the license plate lights are.

    Do you have Blind Spot Monitors?.

    They might need adjustments if so.

    I'm sure you can adjust the bumper, search threads.

    Thank you. Just looked at all the videos :) and read threads. I guess torque when tightening bumper back on doesn't really matter? If yes, what would the torque be on the bumper screws? what is the torque on the bed screws incase I align that also now?

    Might be a good time to paint those silver caps too ;-)
