Default Stock Front Lip Unclipped

So I made a mistake an accidentally pulled too far forward and when I went to leave my front lip skid on the parking block. I got home to check it out and it looks like maybe one of the front lip clips are undone? Any ideas on how to fix this, I haven't pushed around too much in fear of breaking a clip. It's only unclipped in the little portion on the photo.

Lip is factory, not aftermarket.






Thanks!

Yeah, you've pulled it out far enough that a couple of tabs have pulled out (or broken). Much easier if you can get it up on a lift. There's a built-in clip (at the middle end), 2 plastic plugs (one at either end), one screw (on the outside end) and about 6 tabs along the length of the lip - a couple of these have pulled out. You'll probably have to take it off to set the tabs and then put in the plugs and the screw (in that order).

Hmm okay, from what I can tell it's only one clip that's out and it looks to be intact. I have access to a lift at work, I'll try and throw it up there on Monday. Are there any photos or diagrams of what the lip looks like, I don't quite understand what you mean by "built-in clip (at the middle end).

Edit: I just poked my head under it right now, looks straight forward and I was able to see the one clip that came out of its slot, not broken thankfully - thanks again for the advice!

Thanks for the help thus far!
Best,
George
