"He Had One Job" (Dealer Prep FAIL)

[LavenderBloom]

Sometimes you can't believe a simple job could be so messed up.

Sure I could go to the dealer and ask them to square up my license plate bolts, but I don't think I can trust them..

Any advice?

• Can the dealer fix this easily?
  • Are we looking at a $5000 new bumper (saw that on another forum)
• Simple offset of left hole?
  • Does Home Depot carry a fastener doodad to "lower" the screw?
  • Surely Napa has a doodad?
• Redrill both sides and silicone the holes?

Thanks

A doodad ???

I'd be standing on someone's desk making a scene. That's ridiculous and unacceptable. I would have thought the rear plates holes were drilled at the factory though.

Exactly! That is unacceptable! You should not have to get an aftermarket bumper, nor should you have to "drill new holes and silicone the old ones." They (the dealer) needs to make this right by ordering you a new bumper.
