Default Front bumper loose after scrape
right side of the bumper is little loose after scraping the lip on a steep driveway. I see a gap about 1/4" between the bumper and the headlight, seems slightly wider than on the left side. How do I tighten the front bumper??

sounds like you hit something pretty hard to do that?? I agree with Drunkebuda to just follow the steps and take it off or see if you can see in there before fully removing the bumper. Maybe you can pull the fender liner back to see if anything is broken that can no be fixed???

hope all goes well for you!

It is possible that one of the bumper clips broke. You can fix by removing the bumper and gluing with epoxy.

Same problem as OP. Does removing and reinstalling the front bumper fix this?

if you tore one of the mounting tabs then simply removing the bumper and reattaching it won’t do anything. You will need to find a way to repair the bracket so it will hold in place.
