Urethane Front Lip
Kinda a newbie question but just want to make sure. I got a urethane front lip in the other day and it was folded over. I really dont feel like letting it sit out in the sun for a couple days or so. Anything I can do to speed the process up? I thought maybe I could use a heat gun, heat it lightly and kind of mold it to my bumper and let it cool? Im not sure.. help
I would say it was defective, or use a hair dryer?

Re: Urethane Front Lip
Wow. Never buy from wherever you bought it from again. Sometimes urethane can spring back, but often you'll have a permanent crease there. Twisted and rolled for shipping can usually spring back, folded is a different story. Once you go past the elastic deformation point of plastics, its permanent. You can try a heat gun gently though, and see what happens. It's not like you can really damage it any more..
