Default bumper is pissing me off

ever since i did my timing belt job the driver side of the bumper (right in the corner) keeps on coming loose. i am not sure if there is any screws right in the top corner of the bumper but there is this slide in thing that should hold the bumper in place and it keep on coming off. how do i fix this? it bugs me because it makes the gap between the bumper and the fender like half an inch just in that corner.

ME TOO! Driver's side as well, its so annoying. I mean both sides used to do it, but I managed to pop the passenger side on. The driver's will not stay on no matter what I do!

Thats what I mean, any small bump and it pops off.

Put a screw where? Where can I put a screw that I can access with bumper on and keep hidden at the same time?

So I feel much better now. Same thing happened to my passenger side after my Tbelt too. It kills me everytime I look at it. However, now its summer and the car will be clean so it's harded to recognize on black.

Mine doesnt just have a larger gap, it unclips entirely. Sags off! I'm getting the front end replaced, and I'm going to be sure and have them demonstrate the correct bumper install procedures to me.
