2011 Sonata

Anyone have issues with the front bumper clips breaking causing the ends (where they meet the front fender) to pop way out and flop around?

If I understand correctly, these clips are part of the bumper cover itself and cannot be replaced seperatly, about $1200 bucks! These were broke when I went thru the stupid car wash! I cannot figure out how I am going to reattach the front bumper without those clips being intact.

Any ideas? Any experience with this?

 

I'm having the same issue with my 2012 Sonata. The clips broke, although I have not been involved in an accident. Now the dealer is telling me its not covered under warrenty and the costs will be near $900. I'm huge Sonata fan but this isn't acceptable. Did you ever find a solution or has anyone else had this happen and if so any luck in solving?

 

I have 2012 Hyundai Accent with same problem. broke within first 6 months during winter.
