im curious, it makes some sens, it lets you force a tighter told in the back corner

nickmerronesucks · 06-06-2016, 04:17 PM

Yes, I will let you know how it goes. I'm hoping i have some of these clips at home im pretty sure i do If so i will try tonight atleast on one side.. I'm tired of seeing my bumper like this. Lol

One handed like a champ lol

I'll try this on my 13 when I get the car back. The stupid gap has been driving me crazy but I refuse to put on the quick latch system.

Kinda skipped around the video, so basically:

1. Remove side marker
2. There's a plastic screw normally used to hold bumper to frame/fender/whatever, remove that.
3. Put that random flat clip behind the hole and replace plastic screw with a screw that screws into the flat clip.

The rest with the ziptie and the side marker is just because the dude broke his A clip and decided to go another route?

nickmerronesucks · 06-07-2016, 09:15 AM

My side marker is already ziptied it. So I went ahead and did this to my sagging side last night. Looks a lot better gap wise and seems a lot sturdier, we will see what happens when i hit some bumps to see if the bumper gets knocked out of place or anything.

Mazikowski · 06-07-2016, 11:09 AM

Is there a similar fix for the bumper sagging under the headlight (where it clips into that awful bracket)? The dealer fixed mine with new brackets but it came right back so I've been meaning to pull my bumper off and try to fix that for a while now...

nickmerronesucks · 06-07-2016, 11:12 AM

that was my major problem saging by headlight and where it meets the fender, appears to have fixed it. Like i said I will update as time goes on

Got a pic?

This sagging bumper is driving me nuts every time I look at the car and I'm embarrassed by it. Hoping someone doesn't notice it. I thought it had to do with my accident where someone ripped off the front end but it doesn't appear to be so.

nickmerronesucks · 06-07-2016, 05:55 PM

give me a bit

nickmerronesucks · 06-10-2016, 11:04 AM

well has been 3 days so far and driver side is holding up, gap isn't 100 Percent perfect but it looks 90 percent better and its no longer hanging off..

going to do passenger side soon.

Chimera · 06-10-2016, 01:49 PM

I might try this this weekend.
I have some other things to clean up, like one of my fog lights has water entry I need to address.. :|
