Default front bumper sagging...

bumper keeps popping off on my passenger side. it was at the dealer yesterday so i asked them to fix it; when i picked it up it looked normal again. by the time i was done driving it for a few hours it popped back out.

i tried to push it back into place for like 15 minutes with no success. upon searching the archives i didnt really come across any solutions. lots of people seem to have had this problem but i couldnt find how to fix it. any help would be greatly appreciated, it looks miserable and its really pissing me off.

TIA

Default if it's dropping downward, it might be that plastic panel inside the bumper that is attached to ...

car itself, like a clip for the bumper, i had to loosen it and pull it up and screw it back in once.

Default Who is the hot babe in the sig? Daaaannnnggggg.... [more]

Well, my front bumper was sagging for a while too. What I did was I put a towel over the part sagging, and literally karate chopped it really hard. Has not fallen off ever since.

The proper way to do it is to take the bumper off, make sure all supports are in place and carefully re-install. But hitting it really hard also works, sometime. Try at your own risk.

And provide hi-res pic of girl in pic, lol...

Default Thanks for the pic. Hitting it real hard worked on my car, and I believe others have tried it as

well. Particularly since you mentioned that it can be pushed back in, but will just fall off - which is exactly my situation. I used to push it back every week or so, hear the click and hope it will stay up.

Another pic? lol...

Default if only pics worked on my service guys...

my car would never have problems.

after rethinking it i am going to attempt the karate chop technique; im not really one for finesse anyways.
