^^ The purchase process is flawless, there is a video on how to install and seems extremely straight forward but the dealer could do this for you if you didnt want to this and the results, we know of a forum beta tester and it was perfect and stood the test of time...for the price, cant go wrong!

Fix ordered! Like @wthrman2 , it’ll be nice to have it on hand if/when it’s an issue. Thanks y’all for developing and testing it out!

Per our forum rules, solicitation and promotion of items for sale is not allowed except by approved vendors. As such, I kindly ask that we keep sales questions and discussion out of this thread. Let's keep it on topic of Q&A, feedback, and discussion of the bumper issue only. Thanks in advance for keeping the discussions on track.
Is there a way to have this specific post stickied?

What I can do is sticky this thread, and then edit the original post to include the information. Would that be close enough?

I think that would be best, so we can get visibility on it and it won't get lost with all the thank you's

^^ I prefer to wax

Anyone other than Pittsy's vehicle has been done? Mine will take a while to get here and since my gap is so tight (dont get exicted DLPTony), i wont get mine done for a while . I will be interested to hear from owners who ordered these on how it solved their issues,and whether they used the dealer or did it themselves.

I am holding off a bit as well, since I am showing minimal gappage. However, I am definitely not going the TSB route.

Too late! 🤣

I second the opinion about NOT getting the TSB.

If you look into the gap and can see the bumper tab then you know the clip isn't engaged anymore. If you can't see the bumper tab then most likely you're fine.
