This is a common issue on 992 and it’s random
behind that area, there are clips the pull the bumper in tightly to the fender
unfortunately, on 992, those clips are smaller AND the design isn’t “pulling” the two pieces together
on 991 generation, we have to pull hard to remove the clips, on 992, most come off with our finger, and some simply fall off on their own
we’re doing a 992 now; one side even had a clip missing

it would have to be a very short person, like a kid? It's not exactly ideally situation (height) to sit or even lean on... there is absolutely no damage, as in there is no way anyone backed into it or I hit anyone with it..

It may have just jarred askew if you drove over a bump at a relatively fast speed. These things do shift around quite a bit.

I've seen this on my 911 and posted a similar question in the Cayenne section. For me, it happens when the temp changes (big diurnal swings) causes the bumber to temporarily warp/mishape.
I'd be curious if it goes away bt the EOD or tomorrow. Don't fuss with it too much
Seems like they could have added a few more mounting points if that is the problem.

Mine has the same flaw - pretty sure it showed up after an unknown amount of miles (i.e. didn't notice when I first brought it home).

I know from my ppf installer, there are clips that hold the bumper to the frame. Perhaps one of the clips came loose?

Similar issue.. its very slight, you need to be in the right light which casts the shadow on the seam. Also if you run your hand down it you can tell also. This picture was 3 weeks after delivery and had 300mi on it. I thought the PPF install did but no. I have yet tp bring back to the dealer to look at it and potential file a warranty claim. Advice from others that might have.. what does the dealer say about this issue??
