[200q20v] Re: Front bumper adjustment

[Rob Winchell]

There are 2 "slots" (plastic holders really) on the corner panels that the
ends of the bumper slide into. It's fairly easy to miss these slots either
high/low, or possibly the slot pieces were not attached to the corners
correctly? That would definitely make things look screwy.
