Rear bumper fit problems

By JonBrown
- Sun Jun 27, 2010 12:01 am #202180 I have a 93 hatch and cannot seem to get my rear bumper to fit just right, it sticks out almost an inch on both sides! ive tried pushing it in and screwing it but then the middle just doesnt fit correctly and i can only push it in like that one side. the bumper has already been painted nicely so i dont want to swap it out unless i have to. i will post some pics tomorrow morning. any suggestions would be great!
