I think it a failsafe for the bumper / undertray in case of contact with road hazards. I've lost two so far.

Same problem here to.I ended up using a self threading screw in the wheel well.You really can't see it too much.Mine broke when I was trying to push part of my Zero Lift kit back in place and it broke off.Its fine for now.

people - keep tossing out your complaints. my dealership claims they can't fix it; they have to replace the entire lip... yeah right.

I noticed this on mine a week or two ago also. 3M double sided tape fixed it. Don't mess with superglue, that will just get messy... get some double sided tape.

now the driver's side is falling off.... good God.

can somebody who replied above tell me where they put the double-stick tape, how much they used, and if it held in place ok? it seems that tape wouldn't keep the lip up enough for a good fitment; closing body part gap.

thanks!

Replacing the entire lip is the correct fix. Should be warrantied, but most likely it wouldn't be. They are not that expensive though.
