I cannot get the rubber rear bumper top to fit in the rear bumper. I can get the middle holes to line up, but not the outer holes. I was only able to pull one of the outer ones in just enough to get the bolt thru the hole, but it's short on the width and doesn't seat properly on the bumper. The other side is about 3/8" off. The top is sitting in the sun to warm it up a bit in the hopes I can stretch it but I thought I'd see what you all had to say.
My bumpers are original.
