    Replacing rear bumper trim

    ImageUploadedByTapatalk1349221621.442043.jpg
    Has anyone put that corner trim back on? I've busted three of those plastic stud thingos trying to do it already, most of them are stuck inside the actual trim now so it sounds like a rattle snake..... Or babies rattle

    Common problem and whilst you have a plastic rear bumper, a recurring one. Everytime you ground out on the bumper it will deflect upward and break the clips on the trim.

    You should be able to get the broken bits out - either from below or from behind the rear storage bin.

    Untill you replace the rear bumper with something stronger (or stop 4 wheel driving ) you'll need to invest in a few clips.

    Cheers,

    Franz
