Toyota Avensis 1.8Vmatic Tr - 2010 (10) Plate - Rear Bumper Fixing

[Bibsta]

I had to have my rear bumper re-painted, so it was necessary for the body-shop to remove it and then re-fit the bumper.

Paint job was excellent but I have noticed that with the boot lid open, the top edge of the bumper under the rubber seal is not held tight. It has some movement and top edge of the bumper in the centre is exposed - is there a rubber flap on the seal that the edge of the bumper tucks underneath, this would make a watertight connection.

Can't remember what it looked like before bumper was removed and re-fitted. It seems to me that water could get in behind the bumper panel under the seal.

Does this make sense? When the boot lid is shut, it all looks OK. I am going back to the body-shop to ask them to take a look at it.

Some advice would be appreciated before I go back.

Regards

John
