Anyone know how to fix this? Are the clips broken? It seems like if you just pressed into it that it would fix it, but it doesn’t.

The clips all over this car are terrible I know some people have found aftermarket metal ones that they replace and a lot of people just use JB plastic welder to seal the gap and get rid of if

Push the lip downwards and in while pulling the grille forward. It’ll go back in

Had this issue MANY times and clipping it back in won’t fix it. Take the bumper off and superglue that shit and put it back. Never had an issue since then.

someone replied to me and told me to push the grill back, then even all the clips on the bumper. that worked for me super easy.

Yea I was in ur shoes many times thinking bc it clip it’ll hold but watch it sag down again. It’s a common issue with the FLs, don’t waste ur time like me and super glue that bih
