The rear bumper on my car is loose on the right side up by the wheel well. I've looked at the diagrams I have available to me but I can't get any detail from them. Can anyone tell me, preferably with a picture or two, how the bumper is kept in place by the wheel wells? I can see there is some kind of bracket in there but thats it.

Which model and year car? Mine is a 91 318ic and the rear bumper slides into a bracket on each side. :cool:

Just a bracket. you just have to make sure you put the bumper on even when you are installing. It is good to have a friend help you line it up.

91 iS. I guess I'll just unbolt it and slide it back then to see what the issue is.
