Title: Help - front bumper removal!
Post by: Mikes1670 on 05 May 2010, 12:59:41

Hi all, I'm trying to get my front bumper off to investigate a leaking washer bottle. Following the Haynes manual but I cannot get the trim beneath the headlights off completely - it is just the last bit where it meets the front wing - I cant see any sort of clip. I have pulled but dont want to break the trim pieces.

Anyone else done this?
TIA

Yeah got those but I need to remove the trim under the headlights so the bumper when released will slide out. The trim just doesn't seem to want to let go and access is very restricted!

They are very tight! The hole in the wing is square. IIRC you need to push the trim at the trim/wing join in towards the headlight slightly and gently pull. It should come out then.

Welung666 what a man! 8-) Just tried your technique and it was spot on :) I have been struggling with that for an age this morning and just after lunch tried your technique literally 15 secs and it was off.

Cheers  ;)
