[QUOTE="ayavner, post: 6552709, member: 180723"] Hi all - so I did something dumb the other day - well, probably avoidable at any rate. I parked up against a curb in the parking lot, and did not see the piece of rebar that holds the curb in place poking up a couple of inches. And helpfully painted the same color as the curb. Anyway, I backed up, bumper came off, hilarity ensued. I was able to snap it back in place for the most part and everything works, but I would like to now remove it properly and make sure I get everything snapped into place and replace any clips that may have broken. There are plenty of videos on how to remove the bumper, and I feel pretty confident I can remove it again. However, none of them show how to reinstall. I assume of course it is the reverse of removal - but: is it held in place by those white plastic pop rivets? I know there are the bolts at the top near the headlights, and the torx in the wheelwell, trim rivets along the chin spoiler, and of course tabs to separate it from the fender... but what holds it in place along the front? Anyone with experience or a specific video/pics showing REINSTALLATION please chime in? i don't want to get it removed only to break 2 or 3 of (whatever) and not have them handy. TIA! adam [/QUOTE]
