To those that have removed the front bumper cover... Is there some tabs that come loose, or start to sag over time towards the top of the bumper cover? I remember this being the case for the rear under the tail lights, but have never seen anything mentioned officially on the front.

I see low mileage, unmoslested Maruaders have a very tight fit between the headlights and the top of the bumper cover, whereas my highly molested car for example has this hideous gap in between, even though the corner lamps seem to line up perfect with the side of the cover. I will remove stuff one of these days to take a look but wondering if anyone else has had this bother them and taken the time to "repair" it.

I have the same issue on mine but have never got the nerve to pull it down to figure out a fix. If you do it in the future please put some info out!

Take off the bumper, cut a thin piece of aluminum in the shape you need, grind a little off of the bumper and aluminum use some quicksteel or two-part apoxy to adhere them to each other wait for it to dry and reinstall the bumper.

Bumpers are made of a soft vinyl. Sag happens to all of them.
