Question Back bumper from XR8 separating??

Hey guys

Just noticed last night that a section of my back bumber is lifting away from the frame door side of the taillight (only slight but don't want it to get worse), where the panel and bumber meet. Seems like the glue has come loose. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestion on how I can fix it. Supa Glue, panel beaters, etc.

Any suggestions welcome.

Tim

It looks to me like someone has given you a bump from behind and bent the bracket a tad,bar needs to be taken off and maybe a bracket bent,wont know till ya take the bar off but it dont look like a big problem.

Not necessarily even had a bump, this is reasonably common on the AU's. You need a couple of washers on the bolt that holds that bit on to space it out a bit more. Seeing as the bolt bit is going inwards, the other bit flexes out, if that makes sense.

Yeh First thing i would do is take the bumper off and check the state of the brackets if they are bent straighten then and see how ya go.

Good Luck

Jake
