Slight Rear Bumper Misalignment

Is this an easy fix if I take my car to a body shop? The rear bumper is slightly sticking out close to where the taillight is. You can physically push it in, but does not stay in place. The other side of the rear bumper looks good. I had an similar issue on the front bumper, but that was easy to fix as it was just 1 screw and I did not have to remove any parts.

I did use the search button and read that as well. I wanted validation if a shop could fix it, or it would just be like that as is (like is there a tab that could be more secured or would you have to ghetto rig it?)

Yes a shop can fix this. I had the same issue when I got loved tapped and the shop fixed it along the way. My shop specialized in MB/AMG so he noticed it immediately and said he would fix it at the same time.

I had someone look at it but they said there was no bracket or anything wrong, just happens over time.

Take it to someone else. You shouldn't have to live with it like that.
You're not alone though. My 2017 C63s Coupe's side skirt and front bar is gapping so i'll be looking at getting it fixed too. Pretty sh*t for such an expensive car

You're right. When you take the taillight out, there is no bracket or support for that part of the bumper, so there is really nothing you can do.

Same thing with my 18 c63s coupe when it got delivered. I check all the edition 1 coupe, all of them have the same bumper problem. I check again last week when I was at the dealer on the face lift & they fixed it all the external problems. Head lights not misaligned, bumper is perfect....

Is the rear bumper suppose to line up with the rear metal panel? Seems like the rear bumper is sunken in, but if it lined up with the metal rear panel, the taillights would also be aligned.

Is this reasonable labor for a body shop to realign bumper/tail lights?
