    So the corner of my front bumper keeps dropping out of the guide. Is there any easy way to stop this from happening?

    I had the same issue, maybe just not as severe. What I did is I lifted it and then pushed it in with some good strength.. You will hear it pop into place. It has been months since it last popped off.

    Self tapping screw through bumper into the fender. Can't see the screw and it holds like new.

    Most likely only the top or bottom is snapping onto the guide. Once both are on it stays put.

    I hate those snaps, they're impossible to get right!

    you have to do something like lift it up, put pressure on it, and snap it down while sliding it back to get it back on the bracket.


    i think i ended up just hitting it really hard and it snapped in.

    This same thing happened to me. Its the plastic hooks on the bumper guides that wore out. Just buy new bumper guides, I paid 30 bucks for both sides shipped and throw them on. It took me less than an hour to do and it looks like new again.

    Same thing happen to me and I popped it back in. Then 2 miles down the road and it becomes popped out.
    I found out that at the bottom of the bumper there's a screw that ties your bumper to your wheel well lining. All I had to do is get a new screw and screw it back in good with the bumper in. Also I made sure that the bumper was forced up a bit so the top hook had a good hook on the bumper.

    Basically without that screw, my bumper would just wiggle out of the hooks.
