Default Rear Bumper Sagging

I got in a little accident a while ago and had to take my car to get it fixed, and it looks like the place didnt put the bumper on right, because there is like a half inch gap on one side and it pops in and out, and it doesn't line up like it used to....what can i do to fix that? should i take it off myself and try to fit it correctly? Thanks in advance!

what you should have done was take it right back to the place that did the bumper repair and asked them to fix the bumper, cause it sounds like they didnt a completely crappy job on it. but if you do it yourself. your going to have to find what it is on the car's body that bolts the bumper to it, and see where its still bent. and if you can fix i would take it back to that shop and have them fix it like they should have from the start.

did they replace the bumper? if so you should ask them if they put a genuine honda bumper on there or if its oem aftermarket. OEM aftermarket parts usually have problems fitting properly. They suck.

yeah i have a lifetime garuntee on the repair, and i can take it back whenever so i might as well just let them try to fix that themselves, and if its still not right i'll get something done...

just out of curiosity, what insurance company paid for this? Is the body shop, one that the insurance company referred you to?
