Default problem with front bumper not being flush

hi,

I had to change my foglight bulbs and noticed that when I put my bumper back it isn't flush anymore. I tried bending the clips and no help. Does anyone know how I can fix this? It won't sit flush no matter what I do. The other side is 100% perfect.

you might want to take your bumper off and have a friend help fit it right with you. i had to do try a few times when i took my bumper off.

doesnt look like its clipped in. just take it off and put it back on making sure all the clipping points align up. you can hear it snap into place...if it doesnt snap into place, then its not in the right position and the tabs are possibly mis-aligned.

Take off the whole bumper or just one side?

Take the whole bumper off and make sure you have someone with you that can align their side while you do yours. Then push in together and it should fit.
