That's what I am hoping for. I know there are some tabs on the sides that the bumper slides in. I am wondering if there is a way that it could be slid in the wrong position and therefore be off side to side.

The instructions say nothing about it, but I remember reading the articles that one person had to wiggle it to sit it just right. Unfortunately, I have no pics of what that area looks like to see how it goes in.

I've read a couple other people on this forum with similar results, so I can assume at this point that it's normal.

Strange... Does yours sit lower on one side vs the other, or lower all the way across? Normal, really?
