S350 bumper, went over an obstacle, need advice
Hello all,
I accidently drove over a really small tree stump, parktronic did not pick it up. That said the moment I heard the crunch I backed up. The drivers side of the bumper came out of position. I can tell that there are some clips.
Is it a simple issue of softly hammering the front right corner back into place? I did not want to try apply any pressure as I have the hidden parktronic sensors and do not want to damage anything.
If anyone has the bumper assembly I would appreciate it.

the retaining clips cannot be just pulled forward and then pushed back.
there are certain things that need to be unscrewed/ removed before the bumper can be pulled out. therefore, in your case where forcefully the bumper was pulled out i am sure there is damage to the fastening system. you need to have it disassembled, inspected and either replace what broke or mickeymouse it back together in some fashion
