Sagging / Warped Bumper Above License Plate

[jsimon77]

Looking to see if anybody else has anything like this.

On my '22, 4k miles Raptor I noticed that the super thin plastic part of the bump right above the license place is sagging / warped. I just noticed it today...not sure it was always there or not but I feel like it would have caught my eye as you can see the spare tire. It's not cracked, there is no way anything could have been placed on it or stepped on it as it's under the tailgate.

No damage, nothing was ever hit.

Before I take it to the dealer I figured I'd ask if anybody else has this on theirs.

I have the same thing. Water ponds there...

i have the same thing but not as bad. I think every Raptor has this.

Same with mine. Good to know I’m not the only one, I was blaming it on the LineX guys from when they removed the tailgate.

Good reason to go aftermarket?
At least it’s an excuse to provide the wife.

My 37 has a similar issue, but mine is almost raised a little, like it buckled upward. Mine is not worth worrying about.

Thanks for all of the comments. It almost seems like it's missing something supporting it. The plastic is SO SO thin there it's crazy. The next time I take it to the dealer I'll have them look at it.

Damn it. I never noticed this but now I can't un-see it. It almost looks like the plastic was too thin and the mold was off during manufacturing.

OMG, now I can't not see it. I'm going to have to fix this. GRRRRRRRR

It looks like it is perfectly centered and contoured, are you sure this isn’t just normal? As in maybe it’s curved like that by design?
I haven’t gotten mine yet, so I can’t reference one in my driveway to comment, but it does look symmetrical at least.
