Is there suppose to be a gap between the plastic fender trim and bumper?

well I have noticed these since when I picked up the car..
thought it was normal, but after seeing some pictures, it looks wrong.
there's a gap between the black plastic fender and the bumper..
both on the front bumper and the rear bumper..
I could also see small indent on the plastic trim which looks like it is suppose to go under the bumper..
Is this normal or do I need to get it fixed by the dealer?

If you are talking about the black plastic on the bumper itself, then no, it's suppose to be snug against the bumper. Needs to be fixed by the dealer.


If you are talking about the black plastic around the wheel well mating to the black plastic on the bumper, yes there is a bit of a gap between the two pieces at the joint.

Help?

if you're talking about the front where the front fender/hood meets with the bumper, then yes there should be a small gap. i wondered that myself when i first got delivered but i've noticed this gap on all models.
