I have been a ford owner for many years and have always had good luck with them. I just purchased a clean used 2008 4.0 for our frequent trips to the city from the coast. The front fascia (bumper) seems to be loose. It looks like some slight cosmetic damage, but I think something (probably plastic?) that holds it in place is broken. I want to remove the bumper and fix this. It is about 1/4" lower on the driver side, but it is a little loose and I would like to fix it. Any help would be appreciated, and thank you in advance.

I took the front fascia off when I mounted the plow on mine. I took the headlights off (3 10mm bolts), and then just worked the plastic clips around and it came off. It's a little PITA, especially around wheel wells but I would start with that and see if any plastic tabs or mounting points are broken.
