Hi everyone,

Inexplicably, my bumper has started to separate from the fender. Almost looks like it's missing a connector. All the fender clips, etc., are solid, but curious if anyone has had this happen. I can't find what part it might be, either, so I'd appreciate help. Thanks!

I am sure you meant FRONT bumper right ?
Be clear when u ask


There are 2 bolts which hold front bumber to fender. You need to remove the fender liner first to access it.

The red circle are alignment dots.
The 1 and 2 in green are the bolts





Fender side get the clip with the female thread for the bolt











Have fun................


ADD : better view of the tapping type screw/bolt sharp end

Thanks, looks pretty obvious to me that they just forgot to put on the two screws that hold the bumper on after they dropped to to check out the DRLs. Very frustrating, especially as they won't admit to it...and I've never touched those. Hope the bracket is still there, but will have to look at it.

Was an indy, or I 100% would. They basically said, "jk lol". It is one of the good indys in town, too. A big reason I'm throwing this up on Cars & Bids. It's in great shape, but I don't have time to DIY everything, and when I'm paying over $100/hr for labor, this stuff just makes me rage.
