Backed into snow bank, seams out
I have a C350 that I backed into a snow bank during a whiteout on the highway. There was no damage done to the paint or body but the seam is out of alignment (driver rear) where the bumper meets the quarter panel. You can also notice a slight shift in the space where the rear bumper surrounds the tail light.
Can a body shop realign this without major work? The panels and plastic are not bent, cracked or distorted. I would think there has to be some minor adjustment available when the car is put together. Thanks.

The bumper just needs to be realigned... An auto body shop will remove your bumper and realign it back to place and shouldn't take more than an hour of labor
