Default best way to keep side of bumper from popping off

have my stock bumper back on cause i cant get up my driveway at my new house, everytime i back out one side of the bumper pops off cause the botom of the bumper scrapes and i have to pop it back in. i already raised the car 1.25 inches, im not going any higher. Is there anyway to make the bumper stay better?

Default Well, you could replace the plastic clip thing on the car...

by now it has to be good and worn. But still, if it's releasing when you're backing out, that probably means you're making contact with the pavement. So what do you expect? The bumper wasn't designed to be hit on a daily basis.

Default Correct there are 2 sets of clips, 1 set is at the top and the 2nd set

is half way down the bumper. If you dont get the 2nd set snapped in right the bumper will keep wanting to come out of the top snap.
