I haven't looked at the backside of the bumper trims yet, but I would like some heads up before I start looking. The trim is bulging off the body in the areas of the side marker lights, mostly above and below the lights. Is this a normal occurance? Has something failed? What is the fix?

Pull the bumper - you will find the metal reinforcements have corroded and because of the rust are growing and seperating.

Carfull removal of the rubber trim piece and rust removal is called for - small degree of sucess for this issue.

Common for north eastern locations - especially if the car was used in winter.

Good luck

Thanks for the info. Mine was never used in winter and there is absolutely no rust on the underside or inside panels. I guess, by what you are saying, the attachments were too slight and rusted with only water.
