Front bumper and fender divorcing

My front bumper and fender are coming apart where the arrow is. Are there clips or screws holding them together?

Yes! They get saggy. It's usually the mounting clip and/or bumper or fender edges. IIRC for the corner gap, that's more the clip (correct me if wrong please, guys).


There's a bolt in clip that attaches near the corner of the fender, and bumper skin edge gets pulled up onto it.

Apologies - can't look up the P/N right now.

I'm kind of flitting about here, busy day.

To follow up - IIRC, if it's actually the bumper skin that's the main issue, front or rear, you can slot/notch the mounting holes that use the pop rivets, slide some washers under those points, and button it all back a smidge more tightly with no gap.

Should be a couple DIYs for that still kicking around on here.

Will take pics if/when I do this.

We need a bit of a Renaissance on here to replace a bunch of the threads that have lost their info and/or pics.
