Hey Ernie,
Thanks that's a big help. I'm not sure if you've looked, but I placed some pictures of the heat valve removal on this site "348 how do I get the defrosters off".
Thanks for help,
Jim |

Ok Jim here is what you need to do.
1)Remove the trunk liner. You will need this out so you can access the four bolts that hold the front on.
2)Take the two front tires off, then remove both front fender wells. These have to come off so that you can unplug the side maker lights, and to loosen the four bolts, two on each side, that hold the bumper in place on the sides.
3)If they are still on the car, remove the airdamn covers, that go from the bottom of the bumper to the wheel wells.
4)Now that you have all the bolts loose slide the bumper off some but not all the way. This will give you a little bit more room to get your hand up under the bumper to disconect the plugs for the fog lights and turn signals.
5)Remove the bumper. You will see two L-shaped rubber pieces, on the back of the bumper, with some metal spacers on the bolts that you just slid out. You can take those off, so they don't get lost at the shop.
A few tips. After you have the bumper off, while it is still fresh in your mind, put the screws and bolts back in the holes, and on the bolts they came from. This way you don't loose any. Also when you go to put the rubber pieces back on, the L goes on upside down and the bottom of the L points out, toward the side of the car.
Have fun. |

Hi Group,
My air dam is pretty scratched up (how odd) so I'd like to remove the front bumper, reglass the damaged areas and then repaint. Has anyone removed the front bumper? If so may be a few words of advise. I can see how to do it, but never hurts to ask, given the mass F brain power of this site.
Thanks,
Jim Hilton |
