This could be all it is and just a slight loosening of the nuts holding the front facia on could cure the problem.
That sounds plausible. Anyone else want to add to that?

Yup. Something stiff and pre-formed, like some fiberglass or metal braces; or maybe even something liquid applied like epoxy or, well, fiberglass.

I wonder, if there's a recall and they replace it, how much will it cost them to replace people's clear bras?
