Stock 930 rear bumper reinstallation

[icemann427]

I was trying to reinstall my stock rear bumper, this evening, after having the bumper at a paint shop for an extended time, and I feel like maybe I'm missing a part that might still be at the paint shop (sorry...I'm just having a brain fart here, and I can't remember if this part exists or not). Go ahead and laugh, Paul, but some day you'll be my age if you're lucky!! lol

Is there, or is there not some thin metal plate that attaches to the top of the rear bumper that catches onto something under the rear "Porsche" light bar when you slide the bumper forward, and keeps the bumper snug up close to said light bar/body seal and doesn't allow it to droop down towards the middle?

Thanks guys!

As far as i know the bumper is a one piece unit and it cannot sag two thick no nothing attaches to the light bar but I have a 77.

I just removed my bumper last week, it only attaches at the main mount points where the bumper shocks are and at the rubber accordian pieces nothing at the top by the reflector, there is a heatshield that must be reinstalled behind the muffler, and screws into the aluminum main bumper inner edge, mine is a '79 in that configuration.

There is a rubber seal that goes under the rear reflector that wraps around to the tail light housiing. This seal mates on top of the bumper. An yes the bumper can sag if you don't apply pressure ( pushing up to mate the seal) when you are tighting up the bolts. It doesnt really require 2 people, but it helps.

Cheers,
