underside of bumper mishaped
wallace272 replied to wallace272's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
its the standard car, its not bad, its just a case that it now catches on large speed bumps and that. Oh right hadn't thought of that, I shall try rversing back onto drive to face the sun for a few days -

I had a similar issue with mine, it wasn't dropping of rail or owt was just not closing as if it thought something was trapped, after looking on here found a small black clip had dislodged on the right hand side and just relocated this and jobs a good'en. hope this helps -
the underside of my front bumper has got caught on the kerb and has been pulled down and now catches even more and scraps on speed bumps etc, I have noticed that this is a common occurrence on the Octavia, has anyone had this and been able to rectify it? cheers robert

thanks for the advice, what sort of press did you use, and did you replace it in situ or take the whole arm off ?
