SDHQ Hidden winch mount question/help

Anyone have any experience with these? Install seemed very straightforward right up til the end. Have about a 1 inch gap between plastic and chrome that wasn't there before. Weird part is everything lines up, all the holes, clips, and the plastic wheel well liners.

 

Would the rash on the corner of the bumper be the reason for the gap?

 

No. It was there before and is purely cosmetic. Shoulda used the sonar thingy!

 

I had to dick with mine for about an hour to get both the end cap and bumper bolts properly aligned to close all gaps. It was actually the toughest part of the install in my opinion. Initially, not only were the gaps there, but they were uneven as well. What sucks is making those adjustments requires you to basically remove the bumper cover again . Finally got the gaps evenly aligned though.

 

That's not what I wanted to hear, but was what I figured would be the case. I already had the tools in place and started undoing things as I was reading your post. I got it dialed in, whatta PITA. Thanks for the info!
