How to replace the front bumper of the Hyundai Santa Fe MK3.

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 3 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Front bumper

Let's see how to replace the front bumper of a Hyundai Santa Fe MK3: open the hood and from the top remove the two push clips, then unscrew the 4 bolts (10 mm) from the panel above the radiator. Remove the screw located at the bumper/fender corner, and the two push clips inside each wheel arch. Disconnect the fog lights by reaching the connector from behind the bumper, then pull the corners of the bumper outward to release the clips, and carefully slide it forward. Transfer the components (headlights and trims) from the old bumper to the new one. For reassembly, first engage the guides under the headlights, then push the clips evenly until they snap into place. Reconnect and re-screw everything. The plastic clips break easily, so it's a good idea to have a handful of spares on hand before starting the work.
