How to fix front bumper sag

[MotorSportThree]

I can't seem to find a correct fix. The front bumper is sagging slightly on one side where it meets the fender and it drives me crazy. Is this an easy fix?

Thanks

There are plastic supports on each side. One of yours could be broken.

Those supports can also be adjusted, so it might be a case of removing the corner light and adjusting it.

Is this something a body / collision shop can easily fix?

There’s a sort of inner bumper that supports the outer bumper. They are held together with plastic clips that are very brittle. I had the same problem and I was able to epoxy them back together.

This is what was causing my bumper to sag. There's a piece of EPS that is (supposed to be) secured to the bumper cover with melted tabs. These were all broken on mine, so I used JB Weld plastic epoxy to secure the whole thing. I also had to reconstruct and glue in the structure at the corners where the fender liner attaches because that was failing too.

Whatever the issue is, it will probably be apparent if you pull the bumper cover.
