See if you push it down, or take a look under (you can with the hood up) to see if the tabs are shot.

I just popped mine off to clean around/under it and it popped right back in. Don't be afraid to peal it up and see what is going on.

Well I popped it off, and some of the "pins" are bent out of shape. As if someone took it off then smashed it back on without lining them all up. Stupid. Well I'll have to fix it somehow.

Perhaps you can use a heat gun to make the plastic more flexible. (from the back side, and be careful) then use a screwdriver to push it back straight. If it doesn't work, just have a body shop order you up a new one. easy easy!

Forget the body shop, you can order them cheaper online and just pop a new one on yourself. I took mine off recently so I could a good Mother's back to black treatment on it. Popped right back on.

I keep on forgetting that not everyone has a good friend as a body shop manager.:happy160:
