I'm trying to get to a rear parking sensor and JTIS made it look easy. But I'm stuck on how to remove the clips securing the bumper cover's sides. The manual does say to remove the side marker but doesn't say how. After that's out I guess I will see the clips but how do I remove the side markers? (JTIS does NOT say that)

Any help on markers or clips will be greatly appreciated

 

Remove fasteners securing wheel arch to rear bumper. You may have to saw off bottom one if it is very corroded.
Dont worry about side marker at this stage.

Pull bumper towards you ie at 90 deg to side of car.
There are no clips as such they are part of the bumper.

 

Thanks the confidence booster. It's pretty scary pulling so hard on parts. Many times I have done that, broken something and the realized "Oh it goes THAT way".

The info I read seemed convoluted so I thought I'd make sure.

There seems to be 3 on each side the foremost being about 2 inches behind the wheel well. Can't see any of them. Just yank the bumper cover away from the car, right?

Cheers

 

That's right-give it a sharp tug while pulling the bottom part out at an angle.

In the US the side marker is illuminated so just bear in mind that there will be

a wire connected to it behind the bumper.
