Title: Too many bolts (rear bumper)
Post by: Tem on August 4, 2004, 17:21

Uhm...had the bumper off for a while and now I can't remember where all the bolts go s:oops: :oops: s:oops: Anyone know what I'm missing...

5 plastic clips on top of the bumper, under the hood. I still have 3 of these left, where do they go?

2 screws inside the fenders.

4 screws holding the underside of the bumper to the inner fenders.

3 screws holding the bumper to diaper (and 2 bolts holding the diaper to car + 1 plastic clip)

4 screws holding the rear lights in place and 4 screws holding the licence plate cover and the plate itself

Now I still have 5 bolts which are about an inch and black/dark. There would be 4 matching places under the rear lights, but were these really this long? And where does the 5th go?

Or am I confusing some bolts here s:? :? s:?

Too early in the morning for me to help!

The four inch long bolts do help to hold the bumper, two on these little "flaps" with the bolt going sideways. I remember only four, so maybe the fifth is an extra.

That's what happens when you leave bolts alone in the dark...

Well...yes and no s8) 8) s8) It shows I have installed all the clips/bolts/screws shown in the pic, but the mystery remains...

I think those bolts are breeding. I have 4 similar leftovers from front bumper s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
(Spydermagazine had a nice article about front, so I'm sure I got them all)
