On the many ford flex, i notice a defect in the head light assembly. Look at head light where the signal light is and notice the gap between the head light and front bumper. If you can see a gap there, you will probably notice 2 tabs on the bumper, and those 2 tabs slide inside the head light assembly clips. I found that the head light assembly clips are broken off. I check various flex's in different dealer lots and every one of them had at least one flex with this problem. I believe this is a major design flaw. CHECK YOUR FLEX AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM

Just noticed my car has that slight gap on the passenger side headlight/front bumper. Very small gap. Drivers side was ok. On that passenger side, I could see the 2 tabs and assembly clips were still intact. The tabs could have been better in there, so I pushed the bumper in a bit to get the tabs deeper into the clips. We'll see if it holds.
