[QUOTE="mspenc45, post: 15773208, member: 185846"] Pretty sad that Ford does not fix this problem. There is an obvious issue in the engagement between the two tabs and the under member nearest the tail light assembly on both sides of my 2017 GT350. I removed the right side bumper cover yesterday, just from the wheel well to the tail light and these two tabs are not engaged at all, and really cannot be engaged without some up pressure via a floor jack and rubber pad under the valence. With some struggle, and the tail lamp assembly removed, and a little shaving of the under member, where it apparently interferes with engagement, this tab can be engaged, but when the jack is removed, the strain on the tab is apparent, and I doubt it will hold. I am trying the addition of 3 screws in this area, hidden by the tail light assembly when installed. One screw would, in my opinion, leave too much stress on the tab and the one screw. It held overnight very nicely, but getting this tab, closest the tail light, engaged is making the engagement of the next tab, closer to the wheel well, difficult. The bumper cover wants to bow out now in this area when the tab nearest the tail light is actually engaged. Piss poor design, and/or molds by Ford! Anyway, when all tabs are engaged, it looks good. I'll follow up with some photos. [/QUOTE]
