I'm intersted as well...looks like two bolts directly underneath the center of the bumper are no longer there. 
I'm going to a dealership tofigure out what bolts they are. Hopefully I can pull up on the bumper and screw them into place.

prolly ned to make a bracket like the front...have yall moved bumper supports?
the screws o nthe sides are glued into the plastic and break loose...thats what happened to mine...it sags now

yeah, you can order the rear bumper brackets from gm and the clip into the rear cover on each side. for mine i ordered new clips and brackets for the entire bumper cover just to be on the safe side. the down part about this to put the brackets in your going to have to take off the rear cover or be carefull and work one side at a time. and if you get all new clips the rear body valanace has to come off to get 3 of them in. i strongly reccommend buying all new hardware because the clips afterwhile will tend to wear and you might as well replace it all at once so that you dont have problems later on.

Are there any bolts from underneath the car?
no underneath the car is a bunch of gms cheap @$$ clips. they are just there to hold the bottom up and in not to keep the top up. theres like metal retainers on the sides of the covers that also hold it up. but the other thing is, is that like said above the heat could have warped the plastic and its deformed some. like i said for me personally im just buying a new cover(i need it though and ill have a spare) and all new hardware. try replacing your bumper cover hardware before anything else. let my know what you want prices on and ill get them for you.
I need to do this once I return from Iraq. 
Is this only common on cars with the supports removed or does it still happen with them in? Reason I'm asking is because I want to take my supports out, but not if it's gonna make my car's *** look saggy. My car doesn't sit out in the sun either so that isn't a problem.
