Gotcha thanks for sharing. Thought might be the way I was reassembling the bumper on the car but if it happens since new maybe just build issues with the car itself
Yup there’s one clip in there. It looks likes it’s clipped in. Maybe only partially clipped? But I’ve tried pushing it in further and no luck, still sticks out
Took off my bumper but after putting it back on the car, the back end of the bumper doesn't want to sit flush with the side marker anymore. Both sides have this slight poke. Anyone else run into this problem or have fixes? I'd hate to take off the bumper again, it was a pain

the tabs in the bumper have probably sheared off (they're very fragile). Mine started doing this at like 4k miles. you can remove the bumper and use a small zip tie to hold the grill tabs to the bumper. That's what I ended up doing for my grill and that fixed the problem.
The alternative is the...
The tabs are the red circle in the picture. What I found helps is to pre bend the zip tie to 90 degrees so that it will slot right into the tab hole. It'll take some finessing to get the zip ties through the tab holes.
Yea thats whats im thinking too. This part should be able to be replaced. Been to a dealer and thier parts store wasnt able to find it either. They just guess that it would be part of the bumper fascia and that you would have to order the entire fascia to get that piece.
What did you end up doing? One solution that I've seen but haven't done yet is removing the bumper and using a zip tie to thread through the tabs of the grill. Planning on going that method once I find some time. Heard taking off the bumper is a hassle.
Hows this holding up. My bumper is also coming apart. Thinking about doing like this to fix it.
Did you have to remove the bumper to do this or can you do this by removing the radiator shroud and come in from the top?
Anyone know of any warranty friendly dealers in the sf bay area region? Starting to get the issue where the front grill is detaching from the bumper similar to the ones seen here at this megathread. https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/front-grille-coming-apart.3495/
