Default Rear bumper

The car in question is a 2002 Camaro SS. Does anyone know where the bolts, or whater holds the bumper on are? My bumper is a little loose, and I am going to try and fix it myself before I take it somewhere.

4 'push-in retainers' underneath the bottom edge in the back

3 nuts/bolts on each side's top edge

another one on the inner fender edge on each side

another one underneath the bottom edge on each side

more push-in retainers on the top of the rear bumper fascia (probably another 4... might be covered by the 'rear end finish panel')


The bolts should be tightened to 2 N·m (18 lb in). The nuts should be tightened to 6 N·m (53 lb in).

where will i find these bolts/screws? Will the push clips or whatever break if I try to pull it off. The problem is that there is a gap in the bumper where it meets the car.

I have that same gap, after somebody backed into me, and it just sags more and more. Any ideas what to do to fix this? I will take pics when I get home.
