bumper falling

[bradley hughes]

hey has anyone had any problems with the corners of the front bumper on the outsides of the headlight bowing out. i was wondering if there is anything that would stick it back tight. i tried super glue but that didnt work at all. i know the right thing would probably be to get in there and find a loose bracket or something like that but im just to lazzy haha so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it just happening on one side of the car, or both??? Get some picuture on here it you could.

I bet it's the headlight clip that snapped. They're very sensitive, and when they break the bumper sticks out cuz it has nothing to clip into. It's like a $7 part from onlinemazdaparts.com

^^ sounds like a resonable exclamation.

You can actually adjust the outer corner (by the fender) by loosening the bolt for the grille near the headlight you want to adjust. So if you want to move the corner by the L fender in and out, loosen the TORX bolt by the L headlight. You can push or pull the bumper by grasping the part between the grille and headlight. When you do that, you'll see the bumper bow in and out near the fender. When it's where you want it, tighten the torx bolt back down. LMK if you need a pic and some circles to help explain.

i have the regular protege bumper but on mine the bolt hole on the sides both were cracked off to the point where i can't think of anything to fix it with.

the bumper sticks out but its stable. looks stupid though.
it really sucks

I repaired my rear lip with some 3M two part epoxy. Sets up anywhere from 20 seconds to 2 minutes. Holding very strong for 2 years now. Bonds plastic incredibly well.
