Bumper Creep...

Does anyone have this phenomenon happening? It's when the front and rear bumpers slowly start to shift from age and changes in temperature. It causes the shut lines between the plastic bumpers, body panels and lights to become distorted and not sit flush anymore. From some angles it looks bloody awful and you can see right through. Any advice of how to fix said problem would be greatly appreciated...

Cheers guys.

Ps- I'll post some photos tomorrow morning of what I'm dealing with.

No it hasn't had any repairs where the front and rear bumpers have needed to come off, but I have seen quite a few Aurions floating around where the panel gaps have started to come apart. Not by much of course but enough to be annoying. Forgot to take a photo earlier so I'll post one up when I get back to the car.

This is what I'm dealing with. Any thoughts?

Doesn't look too bad for a car that is 9 years old.

Pull the bumpers off and see if you can do something with the mounts if it is troubling you.

I've never tackled taking a bumper off before. I'd love to get these shut lines flush again but perhaps it may be better for a body shop to do it.

You're not the only one, my front bumper also has the same creep.
Noticed it a couple of years back, hasn't gotten any worse, but annoys the living s*** out of me regardless.

Have previously removed the front bumper in order to repair the cracks that form at the bottom corners, don't particularly remember there being anything that I could see for me to do to make it nicer.
