The right side of my rear bumper on my 2005 Honda civic is out further than the left side. If I took it to a body shop could they fix it? Any ideas.

 

would'nt it be cheaper if you could figure out how to fix it yourself for free instead ?

is it sticking out on the side where the bumper wraps around ? or is it sticking out towards the back? were you hit by someone ? or is it just shifted and mounted wrong?

maybe one of the slide-clips that hold it towards the sides is broken? or it is'nt in the slide right? or maybe one of the bumper mounting bolts is'nt screwed tightened down all the way and the bumper is loose around that area causing it to stick out?, or maybe the bumper is warped from being messed with or from hitting something ?

show a picture of it so we can see exactly whats sticking out on it and people will be able to help you how to get it fixed exactly so its good again im sure.

 

It is on the side that wraps around. I will check the side clips and if I need to will learn how to post a picture. Not sure on how to do that yet.

 

i was hit not long ago on my rear bumper on my crx, and made a claim and got money but was going to fix it myself, i fixed the tear in it with bondo plastic bumper repair kit, which comes with an epoxy and screen mesh, i mended the tear with it and it worked good, and i filled 2 small dings with it too and sanded it after was dry, then i repainted the bumper using colormatched spray paint from automotive touchup.com, its $19.95 per can, but is a perfect match, i ran out and could'nt finish, so got to get more of it.

on mine, on the sides, its just held to the body with plastic slide-clips, and then theres 2 upper and 2 lower mounting bolts holding it on from the back part, and thats it.

 

i did'nt know how to post pics on forums for a while, and kept forgetting how, so i finally wrote the steps on a text notepad file so i open it and read it when i need to know

the way i post a picture is first upload a picture to my photobucket.com account, and you click the thumbnail of the picture and it makes it bigger and on the right side it has different URL links for the picture, you click the link called "direct link", and it turns yellow, and copies it automatically, then in your post on this site, you paste that link and put [img] at the front of the link, and [/img] at the end of the link, and then preview your post first to check and see if it worked or not ok, and if so, then submit the post.

 

go to majestic honda website, and choose "honda parts", and choose your model vehicle from the drop-down list, and under catagories pick bumper or rear bumper, and it will show you the whole parts diagram of the rear bumper for your model car, so you can see how it is mounted to the car, and see all the parts underneath that hold it on, to give you an idea of what might be causing it to stick out.
