Oct 2018 93700 mi US $2	Tie up sagging right end of rear bumper cover. The problem is that the corner of the rear bumper cover is not securely attached where it wraps around the side of the car. On both sides, I patched it by drilling a hole in the bottom edge of the cover near the corner, putting an eyebolt with nut through the hole, and using kevlar string to tie the eyebolt up to the rear end of the horizontal plastic strip. (First I tried other types of cord, but they always stretched under the constant tension, allowing the bumper cover to sag again. Wire might function ok, but might rust or rattle.) I've read on Priuschat.com of other owners trying other methods, some involving glue, to keep their droopy bumper cover in place. My method works and is inexpensive, but is tedious to adjust.
