Does anybody know how to fix this?

Bumper was replaced last year if that matters. I tried pushing it in, but didn't want to push too hard to crack something else. This is the front right bumper area if you can't make it out.

If the clips are still there and in place then a good firm push should do it.
If not: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37694 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86358 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76713 |
3 THINGS TO check OP, like tcoat said, if the clips are there and in place, line them up and pushing them in should lock it back in place.
if the clips are not there but there is no damage in the clip area, buy new clips, install them and push them back in. Now the tricky one, if for some reason there is damage to the area that the clips normally go(whether on bumper or car side for some reason(had this in my old IS300) then you may need to get imaginative. i.e my bumper area where it clips had some damage and even had I had the clip it wouldn't have stayed in place. It was several years ago but I believe we had redneck fixed it with a washer, heat and a tie wrap. |
even Toyota/Scion can't fix it so they just deal with it. lol.
its like the crickets... just part of the car hahah |
They are like Legos. They are put together with clips, sometimes push rivvets and sometimes bolted with clips. I used to have repair the XBs all the time. If you can get under and inside, you can fix it but don't push and crack your bumper

Nope. More of a correlation with amount of Ethanol in your fuel and temperature. If I use a fuel with zero ethanol, I get no crickets. If I used up to 10% ethanol content, depending on season, I either get them or don't. Can't remember if it's hot weather or cold weather though, since I haven't put any fuel with ethanol in my car in probably 8 months at least. |

No. Not if buying at stations that sell in large enough volumes at any rate. Why is it logical that there is residue in fuel? Besides the crickets show up within a few hundred miles not years after you bought the car. |
HOOOORAY A NEW CRICKET THREAD
