Straightning Urethane Bumper

Featured Replies

Hello,

I recently purchased a urethane bumper. The inlet part is very wavy, I was wondering if anyone knew any way to straighten it out.

A little heat with a heat gun to slightly soften the piece, then flex and push on the piece to get it back into shape. Just be very careful not to use too much heat or you will distort the part.

If you can sandwich the defect between two straight pieces of wood or metal and clamp it down- then apply heat gun

That works well the only problem is half the time I've tried that the panel was slightly stretched. If that happens just heat push into the heated are and cool till the part is back into shape. Kind of like when you shrink metal with heat.

Which spoiler is that? I'm about to buy one from JEGS, it's a Xenon #3125, and was curious about the urethane being wavy. Seems like I read more and more about that problem. Thanks for any advice.

I don't have a part #, but it was listed as "Urethane Airdam with brake cooling ducts". Hope this helps.
