Default Front fascia misalignment under headlights

Hello dear forumers
Got a body issue.
2006 C6Z
Front fascia seems to go down under headlights.
No impact, never parked in the street.
The gap is slightly increasing with months.
See attached pics
Any idea before removing fascia ?
Great thank's

looks like the bumper cover clip has popped out or broke where it snaps in next to the hood. Pictures in daylight would help.

It may be that your clips that hold the front bumper cover to the fender above the headlight has failed. Read through the attached forum post. There is much information with attachments that can assist you with correcting that problem, if that fits your issue.

Looks like your bumper cover has come loose from the fender. You might want to check for broken or missing clips at these places.

The headlights can be adjusted at their attachment points. I replaced my covers some time ago and recall three bolts that can raise and lower them a small amount.
