Question Bodywork Question/Issue

Hey Guys,

Just need some help, It seems that after driving, the piece of body work circled in the attached pic seems to lift/open slightly, I keep pressing it back in,

Is there any clip holding it in, that I can adjust or tighten. Its a slight irritation, but sometimes it lifts out more than normal.



Thanks a stack

There should be multiple clips that hold the plastic to the steel.

Its the fender, the bumper sits fine.

Its the fender section that tends to life a little upwards/outwards,

I found this...theres a T20 torx screw that holds the bumper to the fender. Remove the front left wheel and the wheel well liner and you'll see exactly what in the photo. Check if the screw is there.
