regdfry we're talking about parking and i'm going on an assumption that it was bumped because i noticed it after having been parked and went to open the trunk. it could as easily have been me leaning on the bumper while putting in a few heavy items. point is a bump or press or call it whatever should not yield clips to pop. thats poor design.

and ard i wasnt planning on telling them it was a bump i'm only assuming it was a bump because the car was on the street roughly when i realized this little predicament, i dont actually know how long it has been like that because i havent used the tailgate in a bit so for all i know its been a while. in either case i'm going monday.
