Thumbs up Bumper plug question...

Has anyone had this problem: I was putting on the bumper plugs and the female end of the screw popped out of place. I tried to stick my hand in there and couldn't find an opening. What I need someone to tell me is that there is a quick fix and that I don't have to remove the bumper to fix it.

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I thought about that but I use my front plate most of the time. So I want to keep the screws in place if possible.

This happened to me too. Remove the bumper cover, but you only really need to yank on one side and then squeeze your arm inside. Be reasonable, of course, but as long as your arms aren't super fat you should be able to get inside w/o removing the entire bumper.

This happened to me too. All I did was lightly dab some silicone into the hole where the female end meets the bumper and then use a screw to pull the female end back out. Held on pretty good so far

I fixed it! I used 3 stir straws and a license plate bolt and my extensive knowledge and skills of the game Operation! It was a little tricky but it worked. All is good in paradise and balance is restored.

Thanks for all your input and suggestions. I really appreciate it.
