Problems with Bumper

[ms671]

Hey guys, does anyone have problems with the fitting of their bumper? i mean my bumper fits right, but for some reason the sides where the clips are don't seem to grab and pop out. i'm not sure what it could be, does anyone have an idea?
here are some pics. sorry for the quality..

yea, take it off, check those long white clips, compare both sides, try realigning it.
I took my bumper off a crap ton of times and I did run into "not clicking" deal. Had to realign it a bit and it was fine.

Sometimes it's actually the area of the bumper that those clips grab onto that stretch or deform causing it to sag or not want to grab well.

i had to add two support bars to the bottom side of the bumper to push it out, now that i did that it grabs well.

where can i purchase those support bars, and do you have a picture i can see so i can match it?

I made them out of some conduit tube I had sitting around. I'm on vacation, so when I get home I will.

I backed into a small stump in a field....(dont ask) And damn near ripped my back bumper off. And mine now does this also.

It cracked the exhaust surround on the right. Tore the rear quarter almost all the way off. Luckily my wife worked at a dealership. So I got the right side of the diffuser for half price! And jb welded the broken tab back. I couldn't justify replacing the entire rear bumper for one broken tab.
