    I have a 2013 Prius 2 with a sagging back bumper it appears that there may have been damage to the clips but not sure need to figure out if I can replace the clips after taking off the bumper and reinstalling it hold it in place to avoid the Gap from the main body to the bumper thank you!

    Ours sagged to a certain point, then no further. There's the screw just inside the hatch opening holding things. I'm thinking it's a poor design, but it's at least stabilized, going to leave it be, at least as long as it doesn't get worse.

    ^ Clearer pic of the invoice possible? Something with a searchable product name, part number company, contact info or whatever.

    I believe a SoCal member on this forum is making some. Don't know if you have to belong to any special "club" to get them though. ;)

    Rather than ship a piece of bent plate from China, looks like something anyone could cobble together. :whistle:

    I'm still ok with "do nothing" though, it gets to a certain point, seems to then be in equilibrium, not sagging further, still secure.
