Bumper Issue

Hey guys, just a question.

After installing my winjet headlight and reinstalling my bumper..
There is an issue.

There are gaps on my bumper. Although I don't mind it, I am wondering if there is going to be problems such as water getting inside the bumper?

I don't think water getting in there is going to be a problem.

However, it appears that the bumper is not seated properly.

I'd suggest you try to push it in to see if the clips would click.

If not, you may consider taking it off and re-attaching the bumper.

That happens repeatedly when the bumper is put on in a hurry, water isn't an issue however that gap may be annoying. It helps if you screw down that top area first near the radiator with the pop clips and 10 mm bolts before the fender and undertray. Then you pull on the fender side to get it to slide into the headlight grooves.
