How to remove the front bumper
- lift up and fix the hood.
- under the hood, we unscrew two screws (TORX 25) and pull out seven pistons (you need to press the center pin, then pull out the piston), which attach the upper part of the front bumper.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew eight screws (TORX 25, twisted from bottom to top), which attach the lower part to the bottom lining.
- turn the steering wheel to the side.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew five screws on each side (TORX 25), which fasten the fenders (front part).
- we release the sides from the latches in the wings (we take the corner and pull it towards us).
- with the assistant, we remove the bumper forward (pay attention to the wires and hoses).
- disconnect the electrical connectors.
- if the headlight cleaning system is installed, disconnect the hoses
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- under the trunk lid, turn forty-five degrees and pull out two shock absorbers (thrust elements).
- on the bottom side, unscrew the two screws (twisted from bottom to top) that secure the lower part.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew five screws on each side, which fasten the rear half of the fenders.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corner down and on yourself).
- we release the latches under the taillights (the latches are tight, sometimes you need to remove the taillights).
- with the assistant, we remove the bumper back (we look behind the wires).
- disconnect the connectors of electrical equipment (usually a common connector on the right side).
