how do you remove the front bumper cover??

Post by kxracer »

I know how to remove the actual metal bumper, but I only want to remove the plastic cover. Everything I'm reading says I should be able to do this in 5 minutes but I don't know what I'm doing. I see that there are two rubbery plastic clip things in the middle of the cover and then the edges have some crazy clip design. Any help is appreciated. (I already have the headlights and grille removed)

On my gmc you pull the plastic pins above the tag mount and just pull it off. The side clips just pull off.

Just don't pull out on them. Pull the whole cover foward...

Alright, I got it off, put the new one on, and it is all good. I disconnected the battery tho and now it is acting all crazy. I assume it will quit eventually right?? It idles up, then dies down, then up, down, up, ........

Thanks again
