So, my car came with a front bumper corner that is off-kilter. How would I go about re-attaching/re-aligning this:

VAB5,
You'll need to remove the bumper to see what the mount in that corner looks like. There is a plastic piece in the corner of the front bumper that is plasti-welded to the bumper cover, sometimes from a minor bump that piece "un-welds" itself and has to be melted or epoxied back together. There is also a white plastic guide in that corner and it is designed to break from minor corner impact, it's sacrificial to save the rest of the bumper. I saw one of these sacrificial white plastic pieces sitting in my garage a weekend or so ago, you're welcome to it if it's for the correct side (right & left sides are different), just gotta remember where I put it. Bumper removal requires an e-torx socket and a long extension for your ratchet, there should be a thread for bumper removal on this forum somewhere (I know BP has done it several times). Bruce
