09 Civic Fender Loose By Wheel
The front corner of my fender (by the driver's wheel) keeps popping loose and leaving a 1-2" gap. It does not drop at all, and I can push it back into place. However, it will pop back out after a few days. Anybody have simple instructions on how I can fix this? I'm a complete car novice, so the simpler, the better (seems like it should be a fairly simple thing for somebody with little to no experience, but I could certainly be wrong).
Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: 09 Civic Fender Loose By Wheel
It probably needs a bumper cover. You bumped something and split the corner out.
There is a screw that goes through a spot in the plastic (at that corner it pops out at), the plastic is ripped and the screw hole is now opened up so the corner of the bumper cover is free to pop out.
