Default Loose Rear Bumper

My rear bumper is loose and appears to be attached only at the ends, I'm sure it isn't supposed to be loose. Is this common or have I just lost a few fasteners? (pun intended) I'm sure the body shop can fix it quickly, there is no apparent damage or any signs of repainting, the Carfax was clean.

If your talking about the fascia, there's not a whole lot holding it on but a shop should be able to tighten it up for you.

Thanks, I appreciate the diagram, you guys are great.

I haven't crawled under the car to look at the situation yet, but it looks like I may be able to tighten it up myself. Do you know what kind of fasteners are used on the bumper?

No, but almost everything I've run into is metric so have those on hand.
