Over the course of the last few months, I have gone over too many parking stops/curbs. The front underside of my 530(front lip) is getting bent and easily caught when I pull into a parking space and then try to back out. (see pic)
Has anyone found an easy fix so it doesn't get caught when I pull into a parking space?
Much appreicate any thoughts on fixing this!

not trying to be an ass, but quit parking over the parking blocks. stop your car in front of it.
the plastic is probably stretched. you can try a heat gun and heat up the plastic and push it back up.

I always leave at least 1/2 foot from the front bumper stop on a space. But backing up into a space will give more clearance.
