Bumper Support
 
The DS bumper appeared to be tweaked - gap sticking out a bit
Pushing it in does not lock into place. The clip that holds the bumper in appears fine - took it out and inspected it. If you look at the clip. what essentially happens when you push it in, is the the rentension tabs drops out of the sheetmetal a *bit*, and does not lock the bumper in place.

Thinking about ordering a new one - figuring fatigued plastic. And or if the bumper is tweaked, now matter how much I push in, it will not hold the bumper alignment in proper (we're talking 1/4 or so).

I know what the PN is. I'm just not confident if the support is fatigued and just not locking it in.

And OR if the bumper is ~tweaked~/bent ?? so that you press the bumper into the support, the slight tweak/bent is actually cause the tension to actually not hold it in place.

For the wiki, fatigued plastic it was. New Support locked and held bumper in place.

The rear C Window trim - both sides of mind pop out everytime I pressure rinse the car (which literally is like every 7-10 days). Ehhh, whenever I have more rainy day funds, I'll buy new ones. Such a PITA though as it's part prince and then paint price,
