Re: Flexing rear bumper/mudflap
I notice the exact same thing when I wash my car and I always think that the push in clips are missing.
Am gonna try your solution this weekend.
Thanks for the tip.

Re: Flexing rear bumper/mudflap
I got a couple of these speed clips in my garage (well, at least I know what they're called now)
I'll take a pic of them when I change the standard clips this weekend.
I have actually replaced the clips that hold the front grille with these ones, as they seem to hold things in place better.
I think they're available from a hardware store, but I got mine from the UK with the grille.

Re: Flexing rear bumper/mudflap
I hope your not referring to the bump in your rear end.
Sorry to hear about your exy. I had a close call with mine a few weeks back. If it weren’t for the ABS mine would have been a write off.
Cheers

Just wondering whether anyone tried my solution & did it cure the annoyance? Obviously it has been a source of annoyance for a lot of owners due to the number of views.
xtrailing,
I went to change the clips on the weekend and it turns out that I have already done this at some stage and forgot about it
All OK with my bumper.
