85 coupe rear bumper question

I noticed today that the rear asc lower bumper panel that attaches to the lower portion of the bumper has a thin black moulding covering where the two pieces match up, and on both sides, above where my exhaust exits, the black moulding looks to have pulled off of the bumper and there is a space or gap between them about 2 inches long. I assume it is due to the cold as I have not driven the car and it sits in my unheated garage, maybe it shrunk? Anyone have this happen? And what moulding should I purchase to replace the old one to keep it correct. Thanks

It is a finishing moulding that Hank in Florida has.

If you have original lower rear bumper ground effects, it's probably going to be destroyed if you remove it. The material is very brittle.

I would just trim the moulding to make it look the best or glue the edge back in.

I bought the rear moulding from hank but havent put it on yet. You really cant tell out back. Its the front that Ive been waiting for over 8 monthes. Hank has had them on backorder.

Justin, is it something that could be fixed with some more screws? I have quite a few holding my lower effect on. If not, Hank has the rear fillers. I believe they only come in black.

i believe that the lower effect is not moving as it would be touching the exhaust tail pipes, just the black moulding as pointed out but I have not been able to crawl under it to determine why it has happened. Just odd as it sits garaged, nothing near it, completely free from any wife accident possibilities.....
