Need some help aligning front bumper cover Hey guys, I've got an 02 Camaro. I had the the front bumper cover off the car and when I put it back on it now has two gaps on both the seams joining the upper bumper cover to the fender as shown in the pics. I used a light so you could see the gap as it's hard to locate in the first pictures. Do these bumpers just not fit back together as tightly once you remove them? I've tried and tried and it just won't go back together without a slight gap. The screw behind is as tight as I can get it but it doesn't seem to matter. Thoughts? Ideas?
Thanks
Thanks

What you need to do is loosen the nuts on the 3 studs that mate the bumper to the fender back towards the wheel well. Push the bumper back, while holding it back tight, tighten those nuts down. Then, tighten the the bolt up near the headlight. This should help draw up the gap.
