Haven't seen anything on this here - has anyone actually removed the cover? I've got a primered one that I'm swapping in...

To remove the rear bumper, you should start to remove the components which are on the frame, once u open the door. All the links, need to be disengaged from its claws and then remove the hole cover. Always make sure you tape the screw driver tip with tape, so that they done scratch around. Remove all the bolts and the back door stays. You could remove all the bolts in a sequence from the left to the right , then the whole bumper could be removed. There are total 7 bolts, 4 screws and clips in all. So get going !! One thing I missed, ensure if you have the towing hitch installed remvoe that first in sequence, then you move to rear wheel well area from teh left and remove all the reinenfrorcements in sequence.
