Instructions for Removing the Rear Bumper

Model: Chrysler Pt Cruiser MK 1 - Years 2000-2010
Part: Rear bumper

To remove the rear bumper, first remove the plastic wheel arch liners from under the rear wheel arches (this operation is easier if the rear wheels are also removed, but it can be done without); remove the corresponding plastic clips; at this point, access the bumper mounting bolts at the edge of the wheel arch: these are self-tapping screws with a 7 mm head; then open the rear tailgate, remove the seal at the base of the closure line and detach the boot lining; remove the protective tape in front of the access holes for the other bumper mounting nuts (one in the centre and two on the sides) and unscrew them; then detach the two side lights and the number plate lights to complete the removal.
