Gap

I have a gap by my front bumper and clear corners.
My front bumper looks like it is sagging

I would definitely take it back to the dealership and have it fixed under warranty, Mike. I recently mentioned to my NEW dealership that one of my appearance package rear flares was pulling away from the body just silghtly at the "point" and they completely replaced BOTH of them.

MikeB,

Try loosening the single screw holding in the clear corner. Reach around the bumper (careful of rings and watch) and pull the bumper fascia rearward ,not too much pressure just enough to close the gap. While maintaining pressure tighten the screw previously loosened.

I have the same gap as well, and I didn't notice it when I first bought my 8. I think I will try what DosDog says. Let us know if it works for you, and I will too.
