my bumper is falling off?

[Ryan S.]

the front top Right (looking towards the front of the car) corner has come un done. how do i go about putting it back on. i seem to remember there only being some sort of snap on deal to get it to stay on. Or am i wrong about the snap on deal? is there screws of some sort?

thanks for the ehlp,
Frank S.

You should be able to snap it in like you said. I think you have to slide it some way first to get it to "lock" though. I forget. I fixed mine a long while back.

Frank, there's clips that hold the bumper on. If you bump a curb or tap a wall or something, often it pops off. If you read the write-ups on how to remove the bumper, then you can see how to snap it back in.

I suggest reading the APR snub mount installation write-up to see the process for the bumper. http://www.goapr.com/Audi/support/snub_mount.pdf

In my case, I found that the clips were just plain worn out, and no longer would hold the bumper since they wore down over the years. So, I just snapped it back in, and then drilled some screws in through the wheel well to hold it in place.

yeah the bumper is held on by a claw type of grip.
First you have to hook the bottom, then push down on the top and then in so it gets under the top part of the claw. Then you have to pull up on the bumper so it clips together. This all has to be done in a fluid motion.

Some people understand it on the first try - some never figure it out... heh heh
