Splash Guards quick fix...

Hey Guys,

I had my rear bumper repainted because of an accident, and when the body shop guys removed it, they didn't put my rear splash guards on tightly enough so it's kind of loosening up. Is there a quick fix to kind of mount them tighter? Super glue possibly? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

I say bring it back to the body shop and have them redo it.

Best way to fix that is to remove the guards and clean everything up properly, then re-apply the double sided tape.
I agree to that the body shop should do that for you as part of their repair.

I don't want to bring it back because it's kind of a hassle on my part (distance, time, etc.), and it's not really a HUGE deal. How is it normally installed? It's not that it's dangling or totally loose or anything, it's just that some of the edges aren't tightly against the body of my car.

it's held in place with screws, bolt and 2 sided tape. You can take it off pull off the double sided tape and replace it with the 3m gray kind that is much stickier. Make sure you clean the area with very well before you re attach it.

Only way to do it right is to take them off (no biggie) and re-apply some automotive double sided tape. Anything else would probably ruin your bumper.
