    Default Is there a trick to rear bumper trim?

    I like to replace the rear bumper trim (the black plastic trim - rear center). Is there a trick to take the trim off so I could replace it?

    Default No trick that I can recall, just pull out. You can ...

    slide a flat screwdriver under the center member at the join to the side-corner member, to help you pull away. Be carefull not to scratch the paint finish on the bumper body

    Remove the side marker light by popping out one end first. Unplug the connector, and then using the hole as a handhold, pull toward the rear corner of the car. Once the trim is pulled out of the bumper just behind the rear wheel, the corner and center portion of the trim is held on by snaps built into the trim. Simply grab the trim and unsnap.
