Need help finding bumper clips
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hey all
I am in need of some help.
I snagged a parking block retaining rod that was sticking up higher than it should of been. (I didn't notice it till I drove over it )

It snagged the front bumper and I heard a couple of snaps. Now I have this bumper gap any ideas, where I can buy replacement clips ?
The dealer is useless they told me to go to a body shop, when I asked if they can order me the clips.

thanks in advance for any help

have you tried pushing it back in? this area of the car has been discussed here many times. try doing a search. also you can buy any replacement part you need for this car.

Yes pushing it back in was the first thing I did , theirs no clips to catch on.

Not sure if these are the same thing, but IIRC these were made to correct the saggy bumper thing some people were having:

Those are used in conjunction with the clips. A very good idea to get them since if the clips broke odds are that the holes are torn or broken as well.

Ah, good to know :thumbsup:

I never noticed my minimal bumper sag until I saw some threads here, and of course now it drives me nuts. I'll probably get them at some point, lol.

I have escaped that plague so far. Every time I get a little over enthusiastic going up a slopped driveway and smack the bottom of the bumper I think "well here we go" but so far so good.

I have the same identical issue, fairly similar damage aswell. I purchased the part # 12 a few weeks ago but I have not made time to see if that will fix the issue.

Initially I purchased the Kansai Bumper reinforcement kit but It didn't work, so I assume that the issue is where its clips on.

Hey did this fix it? I'm not sure if I need part # 9 or 12
