    Sagging Valence

    How do I go about fixing the sagging valence on my late model car?
    It's starting to frustrate me.

        You mean the metal part beneath the bumper? That part doesn't "sag". Its probably just bent.

          yeah, thats what i was referring to. Is straightening them easy? I suspect that I'd need to remove the bumper..

            remove the bumper and all will become clear. hell your bumper could be a little crooked on that side.

              Your valence really can't sag, that is a bent bumper mount.

              Closing SOON!

                Hmm, I see. How hard is the removal/installation process? I'm assuming its the part that goes on the bumper shock?

                  Two T55 torx bolts are all that hold the bumper on.

                    The only reason you would ask is if you had not gotten in there and looked.

                        It's raining buckets over here, and the last time I worked on my car in the street, some neighbor called the security.

                          So did you bend it back? It's basically just sheetmetal without any real bracing on the bottom. Mine is bent a bit and I have to deal with getting it pulled soon.
