Canadian TSB for Bumper Gap (See post #28)
 
Hey going to the dealer because of crikets, transmission grind and now the bumper sagging. It's crazy you even see a gap below the headlight... anyway I was wondering if anyone had gotten these issues fixed and what TSB number appeared on the bill. Cheers !

Gotta groom the moustache?

Interested also, on one side you can see the two gaps for the clips. Not huge but annoying just the same

Personally mine is getting pretty big... Think it worsen with time

Can you grab some pics for us? Like an overall shot, and a few of the areas where the gap or sag is the most noticeable. Thanks.

thats weird, i wonder what causes the sag .. because i noticed one at the dealer it looks used , and she sags

All it takes is just one removal of the bumper and the bumper clips weaken. If you don't put it on back the "right" way it will sag...

Work from the middle outwards, instead from one side to the other... If that doesn't work, you may need new bumper clips for the corners...

(This is what I've heard...)
