Good thread and the pics are excellent. I have a black 2SS 1LE and have not noticed it yet but now will be looking for it closely.

But I'm just curious where the expansion/movement of the plastic bumper is moving to once the zip ties are in place? Given that the material obviously expands due to the heat, if the movement is restricted by the zip ties but the material is still heating up, doesn't that expansion have to go somewhere by the laws of physics?

Just curious if you have noticed a change elsewhere once you zip tied the bumper from moving outward?
