Default Loose Front Bumper

As you can see, the front bumper on my L is a bit loose. It looks like there's suppose to be a clip there that may have broke off. Does anyone what this part is? I'm assuming I have to take the entire bumper off to fix it? If anyone has any experience with this issue, pls chime in. Thx

Mine did the same thing after the dealer changed it. In my case it was a broken retainer, I think your part number should be 52536-50060 and look like this: http://www.lnfl.com.cn/productImages...9141644501.jpg

Do you know if it was necessary for the entire bumper to be removed?

The dealer quoted me for the entire bumper removal, but it may be possible to do by just removing one corner and bend it a little, not sure.

You don't have to remove the bumper, there are clips in the wheel well. Turn the screws remove the clips pull liner back towards tire and you see what retainer clip is missing. There's a bolt that holds that clip up so you'll need to replace that to if its missing. You can always look at the other side to see how its suppose to be, might be easier if you turn wheel away from side your working on.

Thanks for the tip derpie.
Just replaced my front bumper retainers.
Took me a little longer on the driver side as I surveyed the bumper connectors / clips / bolt and carefully removed the fasteners without breaking anything.
Driver side approx 20-25 minutes. Right side less than 10 minutes.

Glad that I could help, just like others have helped me on here.
