I have several problem areas with the rear bumper I'd like to fix - if only I knew how to fix them.
1. There is a gap between the wide chrome strip at the top
and the body panel
2. Both tabs at the corners seem loose
3. The top chrome strip seems corroded - do I just replace
it or can I use some kind of chrome treatment kit?

Any suggestions/tips will be greatly appreciated. I'll try
to post all 3 images related to the problems I described
above.

Hi, I just replaced the chrome strips on my rear bumper. If there is a significant gap between the side strips and the body fender then maybe your missing the moulding strips. As for replacing the chrome it simply pulls off after you first take out the center larger chrome strip. I couldn't find anything that would clean the oxidation of the somewhat chrome plastic strips.
