    Front Bumper Removal

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I recently swapped my grill out for the rs style grille
    But when I went to put everything back together for some reason the side of the bumper won't stay in the clip
    It stays in for a few minutes but when I go out to drive its sticking out again.

    Tried pulling it out and sliding up and pushing in after but still no luck.
    Possibly someone came across the same issue?

    I can send you a PDF on specific instructions. You probably missed a step. What's your email?

    There's some liner screws that go in there. You get them into the right holes?

    I would take it all back apart and re-evaluate and try again. Sometimes something as simple as a piece of liner can be in the way. Cheers.

    Check to see if the inner bumper flap was not pushed in front of the bumper retainer. This can be overlooked when putting the bumper back on. Just pull that flap piece over the retainer and align it with the hole for the fender lining screw. This is on my allroad. Im sure it will be similar for sedans



    This piece, make sure it sits over the retainer
