Front bumper

litebulb · 12-24-2013, 12:16 PM

Hi guys,

Unfortunately snow took out my front lip. I was able to remove it's remains, but it was a pain so I left the screws out. I thought it best to ask, are any of the screws required to hold the bumper on?

Thank you

Three 8mm bolts in each wheel well (one of the bolts connects the bumper to the fender), four T27 bolts under the hood, countless 8mm bolts along the bottom edge. There's also a clip between the bumper and fender. You need to shove a thin nylon pry bar or think credit card between what appears to be a black gasket between the bumper and the fender. Shove the pry bar on the top of the black gasket then pull the bumper out. It takes a little force the first time, but it will pop out with a good tug.
