Bumper wont stay locked in
 
I noticed this when I brought the car home, and every day since. I know these cars are famous for panel fitment issues. The corner of my bumper, where it meets the corner of the fender continuously pops out. I push it in as far as I can, and it looks fine until it shakes loose from driving. I checked the clips that hold it in, and they're all intact, including the mating tabs, though the tabs on the bumper skin seem real flimsy and warped, but not broken.

Here's a pic

Anyone else experiencing this? Any tips on fixing it? Not really looking to take it to the dealer, and not even sure if it's a factory warranty fix anyway. It's a minor annoyance, but it gets progressively worse the longer I let it work itself out, so pushing it in once a day is all I can do right now. This is from about 10 minutes of driving.

Thanks :)

Ok, so today at lunch, I went out and pushed the corner back in place, then took a putty knife and slipped it into the crack to seat the tabs that hold it in place. So far, after my half hour drive home, it hasnt popped out yet. If it holds, then woo.
