Default Sag in rear bumper
Has anyone had this problem?

My rear bumper sags. What is the solution to this problem? How is is attached to the rear subframe? Thanks in advance.

Here's a pic of my ride. 90 Civic Si.

You can see it clearly below the filler piece, especially on the left side. I wonder if there is a bent support or anything. Maybe a missing screw?

Cool. I will check it.

Does anyone have a link to a write up on how to remove the rear bumper? I heard it's kinda strange, like some bolts are underneath while some are inside the hatch.

It's most likely a rusted rear support.
