dude there are clips that hold the bumper close to the body, inside the plastic clip there is a small metal bracket inside the clip with teeth, that grip the plastic of the bumper. the teeth rust, fall out, and all thats left is the plastic clip. doesn't do a very good job of holding the bumper.. both my passenger side and driver side is like that.. and also under my driver side rear brake light also broke.. it sucks

Common B14 problem. It happens on both sides, driver and passenger.

WHEWW. I was always worried about that saggin. Wounder if my babey was abused without my knowledge. But if that's the cause I'll be happy to roll by Nissan and get some clips.
