    So installed the TRD Pro lower rear valance on my ORP and on the passenger side and I could not get the side to snap in flush to the body like the driver side. I could not see any damage to the clips. See picture below or link to picture. Anybody have this happen and have any ideas on a fix? It’s killing my OCD

    Interesting. I know the front bumper has clip issues under the headlight (my passenger side refuses to stay put) but I've never seen anyone having issues with the back. When I changed mine out I had to pull the clips off and put them back on a couple of times to get a good seam. It was almost like a zipper that I had to start from the back and work my way towards the wheel well.

    You may have to detach and reattach it again to get the clips to hold

    Mine did that. Had to take the bumper part way off and snap it back into place again giving it more force in different ways until it sat flush.

    I had to take mine off bc of that also. A clip had bent down and had to get a small pick to get it back in correct position. Once I did that and paid more attention to each clip. She went on flush.

    This was my problem. Took the bumper off this morning and I had bent the clip in the middle so straightened it out and more careful potting the clips in and it’s perfect. Appreciate all the help everybody!
