Not that I know of, I did notice some masking tape with paint on it, so looks like it was resprayed before I bought it. Just wondering if was maybe not put back on properly or something straightforward like a bolt I can tighten. Not a big deal but would like to sturdy, I’m guessing it should be pretty solid regardless. Thanks for the reply
you disassemble the black cover by gently prying, below you will normally find plastic clips, if they are present, it may be the support below that is broken
Mine is loose and has a towbar fitted. Do they cause problems?
Not when fitted correctly. A poor fitting could be the cause.
If a towbar is fitted the there’s a couple little foam support strips that should be fitted inside the bumper, without these strips there’s a gap of about 10mm between the bumper and the metal beam underneath/inside it and the bumper will flex downwards and standing on it will damage it sooner or later
Oh right. I bet that's is whats wrong with mine then... I will take a look. Many thanks
Who stands on their rear bumper?
Me, all the time, getting in and out.
Mine was the same - see here :

7H0807252A towbar bumper support. Installed 2 of these, can now step on the bumper again. Didn't want to take off the bumper, so slid them into place. Had to leave the paper cover on the sticky pads, but I don't think they are going anywhere.
