    Hi TW, my front bumper has a wide gap between the front bumper and fender. I drove into a backyard gate and it only spaced it out because the material slide in between. Is there anyway of adjusting it back? IMG_20200419_181926.jpg IMG_20200419_181921.jpg IMG_20200419_181908.jpg IMG_20200419_181900.jpg

    There is a tab on the fender, at that 90* angle. The bumper cover is screwed into a plastic insert that pops into the tab. You can bend the tab back to where it should be ish and reassemble it all.

    Looks like its totaled, what a nightmare. I'll come pick it up so you don't have to mope around the house looking at it for the rest of quarantine. No need to thank me, I'll glove up and take the risk for your mental health.

    That was a joke.

    I'd bet a Bull Bar would have prevented some of the damage.
