Rear bumper ripple issue

[Crew4991]

Hello All,

Got my mustang yesterday, drove it home and as I was admiring it, I saw that the rear bumper has ripple dent line where it connect to the quarter panel on both driver and passenger sides. My dealer kinda shrugged it off and said all these mustangs have that.

Is there a fix to this or unfortunately just accept and move on?

Just curious, do you have a photo of what you are referring to?
I don't think I have seen this yet, but not sure what it looks like on your car.
Might have been slight damage during transportation/delivery maybe?

Noticed it on mine as well. I'm not going to bother with it but yeah it's there.

The rear cover is pretty thin and that is a long flat area. The rear cover which is soft clips into a rigid hard plastic bumper stay. I would leave it alone, taking it off and trying to fix it would only cause more problems. In all reality most bumpers don't come off and go back on well. When we have a car with bumper damage, we usually write for a new cover. The cover and plastic attaching points on the bumper stay get stressed.

Yea I will make peace with it. It’s a problem from Ford apparently they still don’t know how to attach bumpers to panels. They should learn from others, never seen such a thing.

Yeah basically anything that clips on is basically 1 time use. Even if you take door panels off they never fit the same unless you replace all the clips and don't stress the plastic where the clips go into the door panel.Even the metal on the door itself gets distorted, it's all about assembly, not taking shit off, unfortunately.

Is it like these? Looks to be common...

Yep that's the one I noticed shortly after purchase. Amazingly it's not one of the multiple things that bothers me about my EB.

The transmission slamming the fillings out of my mouth is currently on the top of the list lol just once so far, 1200 miles.

loll damn the issues keep climbing. At least Ford could have given us smooth bumper lines. I mean that’s the least they could have done right? Loll
