Ok, heres the deal.........I posted this question a few days ago, but no one responded. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19789

Anyways heres my situation, my front bumper was sticking out a lil (no flush w/ the headlight and ret of the car). I pushed it back in and heard a "click". Now in that same spot when I push on the panel a lil, it feels weaker then the other side.
Any suggestions???


****pic is not my car, I will take a pic if you guys want.

Maybe one of the self tapping screws broke or fell out?

There are plastic clips molded into the bumper that lock onto a female type slot on the car - I removed my front bumper when I put on the Mugen front end and it just "unsnapped with a little pressure. By pushing it back in you just snapped it back in place. More than likely someone/thing applied enough pressure by leaning on the front facia which caused it to unlatch.

I'm suprised that they popped out...I had a hell of a time getting them to unlock when I was taking my bumper off.

I agree that it took some pressure to take off the bumper - I had the same thing happen to me when I took my car in to get the alignment done after putting on different springs - the tech bumped the stop on the alignment rack when he pulled the car to far forward - put pressure on the air dam area and that pressure caused the facia to unsnap right under and behind the headlight

Thanks guys, when I take my car to Acura next time I'll ask them about it.

I had that portion of the bumper on the driver side pop out also. This was after hitting something that bounced onto the bumper as I drove on the freeway. I popped it back in and it was fine.
