MY15 SV6 Rear bumper popping out

[Az023]

Hi all,

Bit of an odd one - but I purchased my SV6 approx. a year ago and have noticed that the rear bumper is popping out from the brackets that are situated under the tail lights which is driving me nuts (I'm a perfectionist). I've recently replaced said brackets, the left side is fixed, but I'm still getting it on the right hand side.

Is there anything else that can be done? All the tail lights are fitted correctly but I seem to think that the car has had an accident at some point? Would being able to source a rear bumper in the same colour be the way to go? I've ordered a new bracket to see if that'll fix the issue

Any advice would be appreciated!

Cheers

Had a similar problem with my Gen-F2 GTS on the passenger side. The rear bar is held in by clips that sometimes fail or are not strong/long enough to retain the bar. My panel guy performed a plastic weld on the clip and it has been fine for the last month.

Thinking outside the square, ramsets.

Actually, I might be thinking outside my head.
