Front facia/air dam wiggle?

Is it 'normal' that the front lower facia and air dam is slightly loose to the touch?

Is there something that needs to be tightened or something?

Thanks in advance!

joe.

Well, I don't have a definite but I'll give it my best. 1, it is only plastic so it's going to give. 2, it probably has some give built into it to allow for flexing due to temperature change and the occasional run-in with curbs, woodland animals and small children.

Answer I got from dealer...

'Core support' broken...

Is there a way to stabilize or provide support for that? The dealer of course could provide a fix...at the tune of $600 for something likely easily re-broken...

Fishing for a fix...any ideas?

TIA,

joe.
