By the way, this reminds me. I brought new bumper support brackets for both left and right side since the bumper was sagging a little. Upon installing the new ones, I could not for the life of me get the bumper to snap back in. The 2 outer most tabs would snap in but never the middle one. I even resorted to shaving off a micro layer off the tabs with a razor blade but still no dice.
I then pulled out the flash light and took a close look at the bumper brackets. I couldn't compare it to the old one because by then I had already broken them into a million pieces BUT I noticed the new brackets have these nubs inside that block the bumper from snapping back in. I don't know if this is a new design but it basically required me to pull out the dremel and create 2 new slots in the bumper to clip in. The bumper already has 1 slot... Using the Mr. Rogers's pics, the left circle shows where the existing slot is. The 2 to the right were where I had to create new ones.
