Has anyone ever seen or experienced this?

 

I have not seen a lot of this issue. There isn't anything under the bumper cover there, so I would guess it was heated, or installed improperly to cause it to bind and cause that wavy look?

May be able to remove and re-install it and see if it is binding...or heat it up and see if it will lie right.

Good luck,
DC

 

Thanks DC. Here is another look if it helps.

 

Yeah...I see were it has the wave. There are 3 torx under the trim piece in front, and one is dead center (about where your wave is)....That is why I was wondering if it was installed wrong? You can lift up the trim...loosen the 3 torx and maybe some light heat and re-install evenly if it is binding. The trim where the latch is just pulls up...held with velcro type tabs.

I have published DIY on how to remove the bumper if you want to remove it and work it that way...Good luck with it.

Thanks for the feedback, DC!

 

Sure thing....Here is a LINK to a DIY I wrote to make front grilles...in it I show the complete process to remove and install the front bumper cover if you decide to give it a shot. Really not that hard...
