rear bumper


My rear bumper is sagging there's about an 1.5" gap between my tail lights and the bumper I can fit my hand between them could it be just like a loose screw or something? Its sagging on both sides more so on the right

What year is your car?

The gap is normal, Maybe not 1.5"

Mine has a gap of about 3/4" - 1" all the way across.

Here is a view of mine from the rear, In a Shop for some New Rubber.

Anyways..


Theirs a gap, not Huge.. But an Inch at most.

I'd say to just check around the bumper, Look under the car for Loose Bolts, Missing bolts, Body Clips Etc.

sounds like you might be missing screws in the trunk area for the rear bumper.
