How do you fix bumper Sag?
 
exercise or a push up bra? nothing really on that corner to lift the bumper up No adjustments. Is the bumper sagging for sure or the headlight out of alignment? There are washers under the bolt on the headlight at that corner and removing one will drop the headlight down. However if it is the bumper you may be able to put a shim under the corner and lift it up. the bumper does move so styrofoam may squeak if you use that.
 
Problem fix remove front panel in front of passenger side wheel remove headlight and remove a few spacers from the inside use a heat gun and gently warm the front bumper from the inside.after bumper is warmed up gently masisage the bumper upward use gloves because it is hot do not put the heat gun directly on the bumper just warm it up enough to make it a little pliable from the inside, I then hit it with some compressed air to cool it down.
