| Posted: 9/2/08 9:41AM Post subject: Sagging Front Bumper |
|
|
I had my front bumper replaced back in the spring and it looked great until recently it started sagging and the lines of where it meets the fender look really bad (see pis below). I can push it back in by hand, but it just pops back out a few days later. Is there a way to adjust this to fit better? I have never taken the bumper off before so please keep that in mind.

| that part of the bumper usually just pops in the tabs on the headlight. can you look to see if the headlight tabs are cracked??? |

| Either cracked tabs or it's sitting below where it's supposed to clip in. Same happened to me. |

| I just noticed the same thing with mine yesterday. I think I missed the tab on the headlight cause only the passenger side is sagging. |

Make sure you tighten everything down.
I know a guy who let someone else work on his tC, he didn't tighten everything because he didn't care and the owner was driving on the freeway and had his whole fender lining and splashguards rip off and fly away. |

| Yeah, I had that problem with mine for the longest time. There is a clip thing under the headlight. Make sure it is in there correctly and it should fix it. |
