Did the corners still fit flush? I remember someone saying before that their bumpers actually fit better without the bolts installed.
I pulled just as hard as the other areas. I'm a beast. Lol jk seriously I didn't pull that much harder.
Yes, it went back together just fine. I'm just worried it will pop out on occasion. I know the bumper with fall off.
Thanks, Bobby. I thought so. :cheers:
The only time I had it pop out was when I went off course during a track day. I suspect if the bolt was in place it would have actually damaged the bumper instead of just popping the corner loose.
It will, but only enough to annoy the hell out of you visually.
I did plenty of research and knew about the bolts. Yet even after removing the bolts my passenger side clips were already broken (or nearly broken) from the factory. The slightest bit of force popped them right off.
Mine sits okay, but it's definitely not aligned correctly anymore. Also, after several weeks of driving with the clips broken it appears that the joint moves. This may be dependent on temperature or perhaps due to the force of the air hitting the front of the car. I'm thinking about just applying some 3M automotive tape behind it to keep it in place. Even if I have to replace the tape once a year, it's better than seeing the misalignment.
It can be a one man job, but I found it much easier with a helper. It still took us four hours (first time removing an S550 bumper). And my buddy still hasn't stopped ribbing me about breaking my bumper clips. "My side came out just fine!" Uuuggghhh! That's what friends are for, I guess.
Same with mine! I didnt even have to pull at all...Looked in and the passenger side was torn half off. :rant::tsk:

yes - comedy rules when simple statements can be taken out of context - all in jest and no disrespect intended......
