Bentham Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Hi there. My front 'bumper' came loose somehow and I can't seem to reattach it. It looks like it should just snap back on. Am I missing something? Thanks -Eric Eric 93 Cad Seville 100K 95 Chev Blazer 143K [garaged summers] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Concours Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Drill 2 holes in your fender behind the cornering lamp, then drill 2 holes in your bumper. Get a wire hanger and straighten it out. Cut it into 2 pieces then feed one piece thru the bumper and thru the fender. Do this with the second piece. With a pair of plyers, twist the ends of the hanger together. Your bumper will never come off again! LOL Just kiddin of course:) Jeff Jeff 98 Concours 90 Seville 04 Corvette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentham Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 [bump] Seriously - I need help.. I have to drive to school tomorrow There is a white piece of plastic that, I think, it connects to. But I can't get it to 'snap' in -Eric Eric 93 Cad Seville 100K 95 Chev Blazer 143K [garaged summers] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 It doesn't snap in. It slides into a plastic groove. You might be able to slide it in by playing with it a little. You will probably end up having to take off the bumper and put it on again. Look at this thread and find the diagram by careldo. Its for the rear, but the front goes in the same way. http://caddyinfo.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=948 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAUL T Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Speaking of baling wire, I had a front mud flap hitting my tire when I took a turn on my truck. I then decided to drill a hole through the mud flap and wire it back to the nerf bar under the door. It has been working for 8 years now. My wife still shakes her head when she sees it. Baling wire is also a good tailpipe hanger. I have baling wire in my tool box right beside my Duct Tape. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of baling wire, I had a front mud flap hitting my tire when I took a turn on my truck. That just might be the Great American Sentence right there... It's got trucks, mud, tires and, of course, baling wire. I want you all to take your hats off when you read that sentence, by jiminy! -Mark P.
