Problem with front bumper
The corner of the front bumper on my car has come loose. It is where the bumper meets the headlight and corner of the hood. Anybody else experience this?
There doesn't seem to be any broken clips or bolts that I can see. I tried pushing it down, but it doesn't stay down.

Pretty common problem actually. The clip inside probably doesn't look broken, but it probably is. You can lift the edge up carefully to look at it and replace the clip if need be then just pop it back down. Happened to mine at about 25k, took about 5 minutes at $3 to fix.

Went to the dealer and bought a clip. Here's a photo of it (PN 11561329, as lemans said). Not sure what 11608971 is.
You may need to unscrew some of the four 7mm screws holding the front bumper to the frame to allow access to replace the clip. Part of my clip had broken off so I just cut the rest off and installed the new one. Push the pointy edge into the hole in the front of the fender. Then clip the front bumper to the back.
