Thumbs down

My friend would be buying me a new bumper or at least he'd be paying for it.

If the new light idea doesn't work try heating the area heat gun and push on the light or possibly pull on the bottom of the bumper don't make it too hot though the plastic will warp and the paint could bubble off. A decent shop could do this unless something else is wrong with the bumper.

Really difficult to see what you're posting with rain and reflection of you and the leaves! If your issue is how the side lights fit adjust the springs that hold them on. Bumper, like a member posted try a heat gun to correct alignment...carefully!!

this is beyond overboard for your situation. Double sided tape and spreading out the metal clips will fix it.

Hey guys, went out today to try to fix it, and moved the clip into about every position possible and it stayed the same, I've decided I'll just paint the yellow thing black and live with it.
Here is a more clear picture of the problem.

No, or atleast hopefully not because the yellow is a soft foam that takes in the ink, the dry erase only erases off hard surfaces that dont take the ink in. If it does erase I will just go to store and buy black spray paint or sharpie.

I was just expirementing because I'm to lazy to drive 5 minutes to store.

So far 2 days of driving in rain and no signs of fading or black coming off
