There are plastic push pin clips on most of it, with a normal bolt on each end - at least that is how it is on my 2016.

Thanks, I figured it had the push pins, but did not know for sure about any nuts and bolts ! Been raining and I do not have a garage so getting under to look is out lol.. Soon as it dries up I will see if it is just the bolt or pin that is loose

My 2018 has 4 bolts, 6-8 plastic pins, and on the ends, one time use rivets.....

I recently replaced mine - you have to cut the end rivets off - I replaced those with a small screw and nut, because of the tightness in the corner I couldn’t get a plastic pin in there, and I chose not to reinstall the 6-8 plastic pins along the front
(there are also what I would call catch clips built onto tabs along the spoiler as well - once bolted in, and clipped in, its not going anywhere)

My 2014 has rivets on each end, not bolts. Otherwise, the same, push pins.

LOL obviously they weren't sure over the years which way to best attach it.

One note: My 2016 is with the chrome bumper as that may make a difference.
Painted bumper air dams may be attached differently.

I noticed the pins were different when I swapped the chrome bumper off my SLT to a Sport bumper. But, I don't recall if it actually mattered. These are the pins if you have the sport bumper.
