Front Bumper Popping Out in the Heat

[Aidan@Partsworld-uk.com]

Does anybody know if the rear bumper fixing is similar? Since my 'discussion' with a lamp post in May, the top Right hand corner of my rear bumper keeps slipping out of alignment with the adjacent body panel (it only sticks out by 5 or 6 mm but its enough to be noticeable).

I might have a crawl around underneath this weekend and have a look if I get the chance.

The Rear fixing is a different part to the front fixing. I would think this would still be an easy fix like the front if it is undamaged

The rear fixing is the same type of clip. But a different shape. Remove 1 screw that holds the rear arch liner on and you car remove the 2 bolts that hold the clip on. The upper bolt is on the opposite side to the lower and and a little fiddly.

Using a small size socket set makes the job a lot easier. I removed my clip and refitted it it under 10 minutes so not too hard

Thank you. That looks really helpful. I'll have a look at it this weekend.

What's the best way to get at the front clamp. Is it accessible by removing the front arch liner ?!
Cheers in advance

Yes that's right in the pic above I took the fasteners out and pulled the liner back to get at the clamp.

It's pretty easy, if an awkward reach. As mentioned above, you'll be able to see the bolts when you take the arch liner off. Make sure you're on full steering lock to give a bit more space or just remove the wheel.
