Front Bumper Removal/Installation
NOTE:
  • Put on gloves to protect your hands.
  • Have an assistant help you when removing and installing the front bumper.
  • Take care not to scratch the front bumper and the body.
  1. Remove the screws (A) and the clips (B, C, D) securing the front bumper (E).
    NOTE: To remove the clips, pry the inner clip up at the edge near the line (F) on its head.
  1. Pull on the front bumper (A) at the wheel arch areas to release it from the hooks (three places) (B) on the side spacers (C).
  1. With the help of an assistant, while pulling both wheel arch portions of the front bumper (A) away from the side spacers (B), release the hooks (C) along the upper beams (D) on both sides by pulling the bumper out.
  1. If equipped, disconnect the front fog light connectors (A), the headlight washer tube (B), and the front corner sensor connector (C) while holding the front bumper (D), then remove the bumper.
  1. Install the bumper in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
    • If equipped, make sure the front fog light connectors and the front corner sensor connector are plugged in properly, and the headlight washer tube is connected properly.
    • Make sure the front bumper engages the hooks (of both upper beams and side spacers) on each side securely.
    • If the clips are damaged or stress-whitened, replace them with new ones.
    • Push the clips and the hooks into place securely.
