Default Body parts falling off covered under warranty?

Just got home and started to back into where I park. Then I see my rear bumper skirt completely off to the side! I get out and both peices are almost falling off. It did snow in my area, but I had no problem last year. I even left it lowered last snow fall. This year I put it back to stock to avoid any issues and this happenends. Not sure of any damages, cause its to dark. Everything seemed to go back in place. If there is damage. Would the warranty cover it?

Sounds like the vehicle scraped something, maybe some ice or a hidden tree stump? I mention tree stump, because I had an encounter with a tree stump hidden in a patch of grass in somebody's driveway Seriously, who the heck leaves a hidden tree stump in their driveway?

Those two lower pieces are attached at the dealer after shipping. Maybe they didn't put them on as secure as they should. Or maybe you're bumping into stuff (snow, ice, curb) or somebody has bumped you and knocked them loose.

I don't think the warranty would cover it. Maybe if you were able to show the dealer didn't fasten the panels correctly when it was new (missing fasteners), but still doubtful.

You can only try. I've been supprised how awesome some the warranty is and how much they'll cover.

I had things that I was sure they wouldn't cover and they didn't ask any questions!

Well luckly there was no damage.
I was having a problem with those plastic rivit things coming loose behind the bumper, but I would just push them back in. I'm going to take in and see what happens. Just glad that nothing major broke.
