front bumper attachment

[AV8ER]

i have noticed that my front bumper is loose and found 5 holes in the top of the vent below the front license plate. I'm guessing there's supposed to be some fasteners in these holes and was wondering if anyone knew what type or size go there. Will take pics tomorrow. Thanks

I have the part number for them here someplace... I had bought a bunch but they keep working their way out, I finally gave up on replacing them.

Yeah, there are some pushpins that go there, I took mine out to try and fix the ripple in my bumper, forgot to put them back in, and lost them... :banghead:

I've found that they don't reuse very well.

They're not cheap at the dealer (what is?); but auto supply stores sell them in packages of 6, or a variety pack of different sizes.

I've never found the right size push pins at the parts store. Since I don't have any fogs in mine I haven't bothered getting pushpins. If I did have fogs I'd want the pins to stabilize the bumper cover a bit more.

I've found that as long as I have the 4 points on the ends secured, the fogs don't vibrate as I drive. The pair of 10mm bolts and that center pin seem to keep the middle portion still enough.

Thanks for the info everyone. I'll do some looking around to see what I can find!
