MK8 - Rubber handing down from top of bumper

[Tom44]

Behind the front main grill at the top, there is a rubber / plastic handing down behind the grill, only on the drivers side almost inline with where the air intake is.

Bit tricky to explain so I've taken some pictures, question is, is this plastic meant to be handing down for the air intake or should it be up above "in" the top of the bumper. like it is from around half way towards the passenger side.

It does move up and feels as though it would sit on something else in there, but i guess it has been there for a while and is now miss-shaped?

Behind the bonnet latch it looks like the plastic clips in here but has been pulled away?

Have no idea how or when this could have happened, might have even been like that from factory, as i don't see any way of that being pulled down there. (should it not be like that at least?)

 

If this is normal, please do let me know, been bugging me for a while now.

I don’t think you should be able to see it like that.

On the my focus the rubber is sort of like a duct to direct airflow through the grill to the inter cooler. I’m pretty sure it’s the same for the fiesta too!

Just had a look at mine and I can’t see mine at all unless I dropped the bumper.

Okay, cheers for looking. I will try and push it above where it looks to go, lets hope it will stay put.

Sorry to revive an old topic, I have exactly the same thing, did you get it sorted in the end? If so, how? I've tried pushing it up, but can't get it to stay there.

Had this on the Mrs last Mk8, a form of rubber flap dropped down behind the grille. Never had it sorted as it was renewal time, told them but haven't got a clue what they did if anything. Sorry, can't be of help other than I have seen the same thing.
