Why you don't let your wife borrow your Jeep on the weekend....



Now I am trying to figure how to pop it out. Funny thing she said the "valet" guy did it???

Try warming it up with a heat gun if that doesn't work drill a hole and push it out from the back.

That sucks, but at least it is the plastic and should be able to be popped out easily. My wife backed into my Jeep in her Explorer and now I have a crease in the plastic on the front bumper.

In her defense It really doesn't take much more than a tap to bend these covers. I dinged mine at some on a trail and had no clue till I got home. Like others I drilled a small hole and threaded a bolt into it and managed to pull the dent back out. After a couple weeks of summer heat the plastic relaxed back to original form and can't tell.

The valet is liable to make it right.
