Bumper Issue

I am naturally a reckless driver with a skewed sense of dimension. I was out of town and had just bought my 2009 Honda Civic DX. I went to go park at Raising Caine's because I was famished. I ended up parking too close to the cement block and literally lifted my bumper out of place. It wasn't the whole bumper, of course, but rather the right side where the fender is that popped out. I panicked and tried snapping it back in place (which it did) but now every time I go driving, it will occasionally pop out again especially when i got over a bump I think one of the little clips on broke, but since I am a ghetto college student, I can't afford any snazzy repairs. Anyone have a couple tips or suggestions? I honestly don't want to experiment myself and eff it up, get me? Thanks for your time in reading this. I appreciate all the help you guys!

Re: Bumper Issue

If it pops out at the corner by the wheelwell, it tore the loop where a screw went through.
If the loop is broken or missing, the corner will not stay in place.





I found this thread link while looking for that picture: http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/diy-h...lots-pics.html

Re: Bumper Issue

drill a new hole through the upper and lower sections then zap strap or bolt.


or buy bumper ties ...but this only looks good if your car is setup, imo.
