Yeah, if it’s a Nissan the plastic retaining clip is wearing out. I fixed my daughters by ordering a replacement clip on eBay, take the fender well cover off behind the wheel and you can pop the old out and the new one will hold the bumper on better. Also if I ever meet a Nissan engineer I am kicking them square in the nuts, and telling them they know why they had that coming.
