body gasket on front bumper removal??

[Russell]

Can I remove the front bumper to body gasket without removing the front bumper? Mine has shrunk and allowing dirty road water to squirt through on top of the bumper. Small but irritating issue.

Wow, Russell, I've seen some nit-picky OCD ideas on this forum before, but.....

Anyway, I don't think you can get that thing out without pulling the front bumper cover off, but it's actually pretty easy to do. Pop the trim out, and loosen the locking pins on each side. (oh, and you might want to disconnect the foglight and temp wires underneath.)

Yea, I know OCD. Might be able to get to it by removing the headlight surround.

Thanks-we shall see. I feel rather dis-inclined to do it just for the gaskets.

It takes less than 2 minutes to pull the bumper off. Just pop it off and have at it.

This is what I use every time I start getting about cleaning little cracks in the E34
