Just driving home work a some pecker in a fiesta has driven into the back of the escort behind me who as a result hit me. :x

No really damage but the rap around section of the rear bumper on the passenger side has popped of its mount.

Try some gentle persuasion to pop it back :wink: on buts it not having it.

Anyone know how to correctly re-attach it?

Cheers Rich

There are 2 big bolts under the bumper, 1 above the exhaust and the other above the towing eye. They are large torx head bolts (can't remember the exact size).

Remove these bolts and the bumper will slide off backwards, then slide it back into place carefully keeping an eye on the side guides. Obviously refit the bolts.

Cheers,
