    rear bumper skin install

    I'm in process of reattaching the rear facia of my Z (1988). Are there any tips from those that have done this before on keeping the attachment brackets in place while positioning the skin? The upper one feels tight in the holes, as in the threads are rubbing on the skin, and the side ones keep falling out, with no backside access when the facia is in place.

    figured it out. Install the brackets inside the bumper skin. Then install those pesky rubber washers on the studs-- they hold the brackets in place. then install the skin to the car. Thanks for the response!
