Paint chipping on bumper by headlight

[alockbox]

Anyone else have this? It’s where the bumper tucks under the headlight. There seems to be no support under that whole length and it flexes. Paint is chipping. It’s a lot more obvious in person.

Yes, numerous people, including myself. Do a search and you'll find multiple threads. I think the problem isn't that it flexes it's that it contacts the headlight while flexing. The other side on mine flexes also but it doesn't contact the headlight so no chipping paint.

Mine was fixed (full respray of the bumper) and they adjusted the headlight so hopefully it won't happen again but tbh I'm not sure they adjusted it enough, so maybe it'll happen again. We'll see. They also replaced my clear bra, gratis, which of course they should but it was nice I didn't have to fight them on it.

Thanks. I did search but the search isn’t very good. I saw a bunch of threads but nothing specific to this area.
The paint overall does seem…fragile. Lower quality and thin clear coat.

Yes, I did as well. We chalked it up to being part of the accident we were in, though. The brackets on our headlight were broken.
