Question
2006 Ford Escape I backed into a pole causing a very minor crack maybe 3" vertically but it pushed the bumper forward on passenger side and broke the side clips can this be repaired or do I need a whole new bumper - Thank you.

Answer
Hi Dolores,

Honestly without visually inspecting it I would not be able to determine whether or not you would need a bumper or not. Sometimes small amounts of damage can be repaired but the repair material to do the job with is very costly and if you need very much you would be money ahead to buy a new bumper.
