My husband and I's car, a 2021 Hyundai Elantra, has been extremely good to us and we love it to pieces. There's just one persistent issue neither of us have an idea of how to deal with; our bumper seems JUST BARELY less than an inch too short for almost all of the concrete stoppers at the ends of many parking spaces and it ends up getting slightly caught on the top of them if we roll forward a tiny bit too far and we only notice after it's too late.

All of our individual prior cars were tall enough to clear them so I'm not sure if this is just our problem with a habit of wanting to bring the tires forward to touch the barrier, if we're just bad with judging distance, or just unlucky enough to be slightly wrong often enough to be a problem.

It's happened enough now over the years we've had it that we're finally worried... Visually to us, it almost looks like it could just be pulled back into place, but nether of us are super car literate, especially not in the body department. We got a price for a full replacement, but we'd like to see if there's any other possibilities besides that.

Regardless, if we do get it fixed, how can we keep from having this be an issue again in the future?
