Hi all

Has anyone had any issues with the alignment of your 380 rear bumper. I just noticed today that the passengers side is about 5mm "deeper" than the panel above (left of boot lid). I'm sure it wasn't like that before and there is no evidence of damage. Can the clips break or can the plastic warp. Has anyone tried to fix this?

Cheers

Steve

My rear bumper seems to flex at the sides as if its missing some support/packing

Mine does this too, I don't think there's anything missing. Just new cars and cost cutting... Falcons and Commodores do it too.

you should be able to adjust it to ge the bar to sit properly...

there is a couple of clips under each tail light, a bolt at the top in the wheel arches, and a couple bolts underneath at the back...the rest is just clipped in and pulls off easily...

hope the pic gives you an idea..
Brad.

Thanks Brad,

Should be fairly straighforward to adjust.

Cheers,
