front bumper edges not attached

[chcknugget]

Hello everyone,
My front bumper's edges are not connected to anything. Upon observation I could not determine how it's supposed to connect or what's missing/broken. It seems like every jimmy/blazer you see in the lot has this mishap, but then again you see that rare gem that looks as it should. Any insight would be great!

Has it ever been in an accident?

[chcknugget]

yes, I scraped against the garage while in reverse.

I would check again, I think it attaches to the bumper somewhere.

I think there is some sort of clip that attaches the bumper to the wheel well, but it does not snap in to the wheel well, and I haven't gotten it off the bumper yet. I just know there's a clip, becuse I'm able to rotate it freely inside of the bumper's side.

I had the same problem with my 95, someone bumped it in the parking lot at work, and broke the clip inside. I used a nylon zip tie and it is still in place, that was two years ago.
