front bumper impact strip?
 
So I am almost completed with the project. I installed the new front bumper but I cannot get the impact strip on. The bumper has the holes for it that studs on the impact strip slide into, but it just falls right out, there is no pressure holding it on. Is there something I need to screw into these studs from the back to make it work?

The impact strip should snap right on. Sometimes the clips on the back of the strip need a little tap. You should hear them snap into the bumper. If they dont...then it's probably time for a new one.

Its a brand new bumper and brand new impact strip. There is no "snap" the studs on the impact strip slide freely in and out of the holes on the bumper. (Not meaning for this to sound dirty, it just happened).

You should post a picture of the studs.

They should have some piece that snaps into the bumper when pushed into place. If not then they may need persuaded out with a screwdriver.
