Gary Lewis Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 How to untwist a twisted bumper That's ingenious! How well did it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbill Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 That's ingenious! How well did it work? Pretty good, it was almost touching the body,that side, now even both sides...don't know how it would work on a really serious bend/twist.Worth a try. FWIW, made a trim remove tool out of an almost used up putty knife to get trim off windshield. Almost ready for paint, gotta fix leaky windshield, and couple other things.

That trick would have been nice to know many years ago. I went to see Dad and the rear bumper on his truck was twisted. We never did figure out a way to fix it. As for the tool, that looks like something Jack The Ripper would use! Does it pry on the trim or the retainer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
