believe me it's all the way tighten. Problem is the white clip thing doesn't stay up and thats where the gap is


Fox2boost: wiggle wiggle lol I ordered the new hardware so once it comes in i'll wiggle it a bit and use the new hardware.

The headlight and the fender are connected... The bumper cover just sits on the bumper. Put some body weight on your fender by your headlight and give a firm push down. You may see your headlight going where you want it...

??Could be from bottoming out and your bumper actually pushes UP the headlight/fender and now that you disconnected them you have trouble pushing them back together...

My 2 cents...

i'll try putting some weight on the fender see what happens. I paid for the new hardweare already so I will that on the weekend. I will try the pushing weight on it probably tomorrow.

Thanx for the suggestion

As mentioned by the others, mine did this as well...

TBH, i think it has wiggled back into place or something, because i have no gap now like i did before about a month ago..

Is this the first time you have removed it?

I tried that when I originally tried to put it back on and it doesn't stay clipped on. I got the new hardware sitting around hope I get the chance to try it once again this weekend .
