Removal

Remove the protective panels in the wheel arches on the left and right. To do this, pry up the sliding clamps, having first knocked out the pins in the middle of the clamp with a curved Allen key (size from 2.5 to 3.0 mm). If the clamps have a cover, you must first pry the sliding pin with a screwdriver, and then remove the clamp. Then pull the panels out from the side of the bumper.

Open the trunk, remove the rear trim. Unscrew the three bumper mounting nuts on the left and right (13 mm).

For vehicles with Park Distance Control, loosen the wire clamp, disconnect the plug and release the wire. Pull the bumper back with an assistant.

Installation

Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
