Removing Bumpers that have the Rubber strip fitted?

Post by Mickyfin »

Hello people, yes, another dumb question from Moiré, I have the rubber strips on my bumpers, therefore cannot access the bolts to remove then. Is there a simple solution to this, or do I have to remove the rubber strips to access the bolts which maybe hiding underneath? If so, I am a little confused as to replacing these rubber strips. I'm guessing I would need to replace/renew rubber strips after I refit bumpers?

Thanks :ok

No, normally those strips clip into holes in the same way that door panels do.

Oh right, I will see if I can unclip it then. The rubber is coming away on the one end, and looks like the previous owner may of used some kind of glue :evil:

Not uncommon, mine is the same. If you can lift the rubber enough to get to bumper fixing bolts, you can unclip the rest when its off.
