Front bumper sagging where it meets headlight?
 
Has anyone noticed their FRS/BRZ front bumper sagging a bit where it meets the fender/rear of the headlight? I know there are a few threads on this part of the bumper 'popping' outward, but mine just feels like it's sagging downward a bit such that the slots for the tabs are slightly visible at certain angles (big no-no for OCD). Driver side is slightly more severe than passenger.

It sags a bit more toward front of car (away from side marker).

Any thoughts are welcome.

Thanks!

From what i understand it's just the nature of these cars...there's no official fix as no one knows whats actually causing the problem...

Yeah.. I'll take a look around if I ever take it off or maybe just ask dealer next time I'm there. The biggest problem to me is that it's asymmetrical from side to side, if both sides had issue to same degree, wouldn't be as much of an issue. From what most people tell me, it seems like driver side is the typical area for problems which is quite odd.

The clips holding the bumper in just under the headlights are warping causing the bumper to sag some and give a partial gap where it meets the each side as well.

I assume you are OCD about this? Because it personally doesn't bother me, its not like someone is going to walk by and say "hey that guys bumper sags 1.43mm on the side nearest the headlight."

It wouldn't concern me if this is the extent of it, just worried that it may worsen :)

Subaru has TSB for new clips...but mine still sags after the install, just not as badly as before.

Better to have it documented now than later when it's 1.43cm and out of warranty.
