Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm getting a couple of things painted and wondered how the two bumper pads come off the bumper. I was in a rush today and didn't have time to get under the car with a flashlight - I felt up under the back of the bumper and felt some heat reflecting material covering the backside area I guess to protect from heat given off from the cans. I'm hoping whole bumper doesn't have to come off to get at these two things? I felt the area right under each pad and found a hole with what felt like was a hex bolt?? up under there. Is this the retaining device to remove - one bolt each? Gonna go body color from the old black look and want to kill two birds with one stone if other stuff is being painted this weekend. Thanks all.

I would take the bumper cover off. You live in a cold weather climate, and there will be all sorts of crap in there. There should be a link for the process. She saves on her shoes, and you save on the car.
