i need your help now ! rear bumper sagging??

[Mark Barber]

ok peeps does your rear bumper sag at the corners where it wraps around the quarter ???????
has anyone ever corrected this???

[mboon]

I think mine is doing this very very slightly
It looks as if a bolt or screw has come lose and its just droped about 5 mm.
No idea how to correct it etc, but open to ideas

[BUSYBOY]

cant say iv ever seen this , post a pic up ,

[MATCOS]

Need a pic Mark to see what you mean

[martinembleton]

yes mines the same i loosened the screws off pushed it up and no joy like the hole for the screws are in the wrong place so i might redrill some new holesin the bumper abit lower so it pulls the bumper up

[martinembleton]

u can see it here

Mine has done that after it was removed to paint so i think you can adjust them to get them to sit correctly i will do mine in the next few weeks.

Mine is like that also. Bumpers obvoiusly been painted in the past then.

i think there should be a gap round all the back, i know if you slacken the nuts off the back half will drop down to straighten it up

something like this



as in the pic above there looks as if the bumper is to high hence giving the illusion the bumper is sagging, just due to poor alignment i think

My rear bumper is sagging on the corners too...

[Mark Barber]

mine doesnt do it cus its brand new its the one im restoing at the monent trust me ive tried everything to sort this re adjusting you cant get the gap to close up its the bumper not adjustment i will try and get a pic but most ive seen do it but not martins redmk5rs

i think its because they have been painted and baked in an oven not on the car ???

[bullett]

oh crap,i hope mine lines up again as ive had to drill out the screws to clean behind the bumper.and i havent done it back up yet

[Mike Rainbird]

I was lead to believe that the nearside does this due to heat from the exhaust distorting the bracket, it then twists and sits funny both sides. Apparantly it just needs bending back into shape, but unless reinforced, will continually do so.

Mine was like that, when i took the bumper off i noticed it has ovaled the mount hole in the bumper, so i am going to repair it and re-fit, hopefully fixing the prob
