Default Broken......uhhhhh....not so sure what its called

Well anyways my front bumper is mounted correct, but it seems to be pulled down on each side. So I looked and checked everything but, what I found out was kinda weird. Right under the front wheel wells (think thats what its called) theres little plastic caps, like a body screw kinda, only that they go in and theres no tightening them. 2 of them on the right side are out and 1 on the left side. So my bumper is pulled down more on the right side. Im not so sure what to do. Should I.......... ha ha no clue.
Anyone shed some light on me here?

K, i'll try and get some pics to show you what I mean


Edit: imnothot has the right idea. Im pretty sure thats what there called. Just round plastic bolts kinda. Only that they just snap in.

You can get them from your dealer. I think they cost $1.00 each.

Alright. It hard to lift it back up to put the bolts in. I'll just take off the bumper then do it, then I don't have all that weight pulling it down.

put a jack under the end with a block of wood and a rag between the jack and the bumper and push it back in place before you pull the bumper off.
