'''not sure if this is in the right topic''''



When I removed my bumper today I saw a little crack in my bumper. I am not sure if I made it or if it was already there.

The slit is underneath the bumper, where the bolts that hold the bumper to the plastic are. It is about 1 inch long. It doesn't go up on the bumper so you can't see it unleast you lie down.

Will the slit become longer ????
What to do ?

Thank you

the crack is betwen bolt number 14 and 15 on the figure 3 :

The long term solution would be to replace or repair the crack. If you can live with it just drill a small hole at the end of the crack, this will prevent the crack from enlarging.

 

Well I can surely live with it ... it dosen't show.


So I drill a hole ?

good idea !

Do i drill it a little in front (leaving lets say 1-2 mm between the crack and the hole ? or do i drill a the end of the crack ?

thanks for your help !

 

Right at the end of the crack and the hole only needs to be slightly larger than the crack.

Good luck!

 

make sure when you do that, you dont form another crack. VERY sharp drill bitt ftw. (plus make ure nothing important is on the other side)

 

ok thank you very much

gonna go do that right now
