at 1:14 what is the bar you talk about on the leading corner lip of the bumper? @JC's Garage

The bumper bar. It's not a clip per say, it's a metal tab that holds onto the bar (usually most cars have plastic brackets holding them on, just habit saying clip). If you look in Google for part number 51127000362 you will see what it looks like. The hook shape it's on the body and the other end grips onto the bar so it doesn't move around. Hope this helps.

@@ThePhizStar Thanks for the reply, I tapped an old post on the rear right bumper and it popped out the bumper corner looks like the clip on mine has snapped off that's why I couldn't see it!
