I was walking back to my car and noticed my rear bumper..........





so now im annoyed that it just fell off, i dont know how it came off it seems like the fastener has broke underneath

 

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust?

 

It snaps right on. Just push on it.

 

nope i dont have an aftermarket exhaust.

as for snapping it back on a part of it is broke underneath so i cant

 

If you dont have and aftermarket exhaust, just go to the dealer and tell them it's loose and they'll let you know if they can cover it or not. It never hurts to ask, and they don't charge you to tel you yes or no.

 

Gorilla glue that b!tch. It will take time. Its not like super glue but it will hold up under all conditions

 

same thing happened to me.i guess i will try to take it to a dealer

 

are you sure you didn't back into something? is there any visible damage on the bumper at all? if not, then I'd say you have a valid case for warranty coverage.

 

no i think that the stupid valet did it, cus when i got back after valeting my car i noticed scratches all on my side in the bright area in a car park. I didnt notice when i got my car because it was so dark

 

there is your problem...dont every valet your car

 

i know i didnt back into something. no scratches, just popped out

 

^Same here.

 

How much is the mazda speed bumper

 

I want to say $1,200.00

 

oh damn!

any other decent bumpers at a good price

 

it's only $700 for the rear, $1200 is the front. But the MS rear you still need those exhaust flange thing attached.

 

No. They are removed.

And to the OP, is a warranty item as long as noone backed into something.

 

Ahh... you are correct sir! just that middle part stays on and that need to be cut.

 

mazdaspeed bumper sounds good right now.

 

kinda expensive fix dontcha think?

 

lol oh no i would like to get a new bumper anyway but this is a good excuse to do so. I am getting the knight sports kit so i am thinking the mazda speed bumper will look good with it

 

you do realize its not a whole bumper but a diffuser that attaches to your existing bumper? (with some cutting of the original)

as far as looking good, i think it does.

 

 

i really dont see a problem here...

just say that "one day you got up for work, went out to get into your car, and lo' and behold, a piece of your bumper came loose! and mention that by the way...you are a respectably-safe driver, pay your taxes, and have a social security number!"

the same thing happened to me with the bottom of my front bumper...except that it was clearly obvious that the damage was due to my going too fast over speed bumps and other steep inclines. even though thats clearly my fault (and therefore not eligible to be covered under warranty), all i had to do was be nice to my mechanic and they just put it back together for me.

oh and i also mentioned i pay my taxes

 

^He's righ!
