FRS Bumper alignment issue, help please
Hey,
So I've had my bumper replaced on my FRS and after that I've taken my bumper on off several times for headlight modifications, I noticed a slight gap on the passenger side by the headlight, I'm not 100% sure if this was like this before or when I re-installed the bumper I didn't clip it back in properly, anyways, now if I try to push on that area to try and clip it in, nothing happens and it just comes back out.. Just wondering if anyone else experince a similar problem and has any suggestions on how to correct the problem? I hope I don't need a new bumper.. I've attached 2 pictures below. Thanks!

So take it off and then straighten out the pieces that are crushed? My car is parked for the winter so i won't be able to tackle this until the snow melts :-/

I'm having the same issue. The auto body shop I used to repair my car did a shit job. I went back twice and this guy cant put the bumper on correctly. Are those brackets replaceable?

No, they are plastic tabs that are part of the bumper itself. It's a pain in the a** to get them to go in properly once they've been force-pushed on improperly :/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
