Default Should be easy – reattaching thing above back bumper.

I ripped the plastic thing from above the back bumper (see image) off on my fence last night. Looks super easy to reattach, but it's being awkward.
Can't find it in the rave, am I just being dense?
Just think I lost a bolt or clip or something (there's an unaccounted for hole). Anyone have any idea how to get the damn thing back on? Or just know what page in the rave I'm missing?

Might just have to get my head under the other side and it will make sense…

Thanks!

N.

yes they just clip in and they can be a pain you need the clips: DYC101570LG

Most Land Rovers suppliers will have them as well as certain auction sites etc

Left Rear Bumper Finisher. I used 3M automotive double-back tape the last time I replaced mine.

Thanks Guys.
The originals of those clips look fine although I can't figure out how to get the "Right Rear Bumper Finisher"* to go over them - geometry seems all wrong. Ran out of light tonight, perhaps it will make more sense in full light. Couple of bits at the other end that I can't figure out - I'll take photos if I get stuck.
Might be that I changed the shape of truck more than I thought…


*Thanks Hokie

When I buy those clips I always get 2 sets. I usually break one before I get all of them in the holes. It's been awhile since i have done this but I used a bit of finesse to get the clips lined up then shoved it on there with some steady force. First set I broke one of the clips trying to shove it on too hard.

From what I remember, you need to put the clips on the finisher first, then put them on the disco.

You probably will need to replace all 3 clips which usually get damaged then install the on the trim piece, the the front clip into its hole first then the 3 remaining clips.
