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.

17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Trying to re-install my bumperettes, and am running into an issue. I have a MY 2003 and the bumperettes are held on by tabs that click into a hard plastic piece on the back/inside of the bumper cover. Attached pic show the black plastic piece that they are supposed to click into. Somehow, these pieces are 'floating' around, so I can't get the tabs from the bumperettes to catch the plastic piece. Any thoughts????

POST 3Original post

There is a retaining frame that is on the backside of the bumper cover that holds the bumperettes in. That is what you see through the hole. You have to remove the bumper cover from the car to properly remove and install the bumperettes. Pulling them off with out taking the bumper cover off can damage the retaining frame. The bumper cover is just held on with 3 screws on each side and about 8 on the back side (4 on the top by the engine cover and 4 on the bottom.) It is a easy operation. With the cover off, the bumperettes are easy to line up with the retaining frame, and they just snap together.

POST 4Original post
