It's rather well known. There's a do-it-yourself thread somewhere. Mine's starting to have a gap. I'm out of warranty but will probably call the stealership to see if they'll do the TSB. If not, I'll do-it-myself once the weather breaks.


Forget that I ever mentioned going to the stealership. I had 1" aluminum angle on hand, and picked up the 1/4" x 1" (more than long enough) carriage bolts, hexnuts (stainless steel nylocs no less), 1/4" x 1-1/4" fender washers, and 3/4" diameter self-adhesive plastic pads at Home Depot while I was there for something else. I drilled the hole at 9/32" diameter, and hammered the carriage bolt into the somewhat undersized (for the square shank of the bolt) hole so that the bolt wouldn't turn as I tightened the locknut.

HINT: Cant the rear end of the angle outward so that it gets as close to the inside wall of the bumper fascia as possible so that the lift provided best closes the gap.

Lookin' good!
