Lightbulb How to remove the Rear Bumper Cover

As requested I've written an illustrated guide on how to take off the Rear Bumper Cover.

Alas I cannot get a direct upload of a PDF to work (I have spoken to an Admin too). Therefore the path of least resistance is to link to a file sharing site (ad driven... sorry!).

I'm happy to answer any follow-up questions about this of course, and if anyone spots an error/omission then speak up!

This is just brilliant Scarletti. Must have taken you longer to do the DIY than the job itself, LOL. Saved it in iBooks and I will be using it in the future,.

Thanks for taking the time and posting a superb DIY.

Best regards
Steve

Wow great write up - I got stuck on step 10 when I replaced my corner lights and just worked with the bumper loose in the corners. Thanks for this doc.

ah, so close to get to step 10 out of 11 and throw in the towel. Oh well, hope you didn't lose too much skin trying to get to the corner reflectors from underneath/side.

No not too much - it was before you wrote the guide. After removing all the bolts I didnt figure out what it was stuck on. When I want to do the sensors I should be ready with the guide now.
