    1990 is rear bumper attachment

    The woman that owned the car before me must have had a low speed back-up accident and it pushed the corner of the rear bumper ever so slightly. For the life of me I can't figure how this snaps back together.

    There doesn't appear to be anything broken but it doesn't want to line up either.

    What am I doing wrong?! This should be an easy fix.

    you have to unbolt the bumber and adjust the bumper supports accordingly. There is no way to just 'pop it back in'

    follow this link which shows you how to take off the rear bumper and specifically at step 3, where the two rear bolts are. The plastic clips where yours has slipped out of is just held in my 2 bolts. You could unbolt these clips as well to inspect them for damage or replace them.
