whiteygabe Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have a 2010 sho and a few months ago noticed the front bumper popped out by the drivers head light. I push it back in and that lasts maybe two mins. Any ideas what could be the issue? I've never removed the bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmr061 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Sounds like the tabs or retainers for the tabs broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmr061 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I have to pull the front bumper off a 13 PI sedan later today. Ill snap some pics so you know what I am talkin about. whiteygabe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOdded Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Unless you come up with a DIY fix (JBWeld, or a nut & bolt assembly, or even a zip tie), have to get the bumper replaced most likely. Common problem on other Ford models as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteygabe Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I was thinking it was probably some clip that's broke.... I guess I was just wishing it was something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Are you the original owner? Reason I ask the car may have been hit before and maybe missing parts. I have had this happen to as well, my car was never hit but I've had the number of several times. And I had left out the plastic crush piece because my custom grill push against it. And cause large gaps where bumper meets fender, so left out had no gaps but bumper popped out all the time. So I trimmed the crash piece and reinstall no more issues. So I would make sure all parts are there, there is very little that hold these bumper on and you need them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteygabe Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'm not the original owner. Ill have to just take it apart one of these days and paint some stuff I've wanted to for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmr061 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 There are two places that have "clips" that are just plastic retainers. They tend to break during bumper cover removal. That would be my guess. There are molded tabs on the bumper cover itself. I bet those are just fine. SHOdded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
