i just bought a ss gen 1 bumper cover for my 04 silverado was wondering if anyone had any problems with the install mine seems to be popping up under the headlights close to the grille shell wondering if anyone had this prob and how the fixed it i will try to get pics up of what it looks like later tonight or tommaro, thanx

 

When I installed mine, I covered the bumper and cover in as much silicone as possible. I had to add weight to hold it down, all kinds of stuff...I used this procedure both times iv had to install the cover. (The 2nd time cuz of the deer) Here is a pic of the most recent go around.

 

I just used some double-sided tape under the headlights and in the middle, hasn't lifted on me yet.


Did you let the cover sit in the sun to warm up a bit before you stretched it on?

 

yes i did let it sit in the sun all day before i put it on its hasnt been painted yet just trying to mock it up but for some reason its buckled up under the headlights almost like the cover is too wide for the bumper i dont understand it, let me try to get a pic up to show im gonna try and work on it again tommaro nite after work

 

thanx for the help guys im tryin to get my pics up but cant find my camera cable to upload the pics but hear is a render

 

mine did the same, you have to force it down and find a way to keep it there.

 

yeah I seen a few posts about this across other forums, just find a way to glue or tap it down, mainly made this post to tell Chevyman23 that Im incredibly jealous of his truck

 

is this the OEM bumper or the aftermarket type

 

3M tape. It should have come with some. Ive put 2 aftermarket ones on my buddies trucks. They fit "ok". Is it a street scene? DO not stick it on with the 3m untill you get it painted. If all else fails and you cant get the humps out, put a heat lamp on it and re shape it., Ive had to do that before also.

 

Forgot to ask is it urethane (street scene) or fiberglass? The fiberglass ones I heard fit terribly without alot of work
