To remove the rear bumper, it is convenient to lift the vehicle on a ramp and remove the rear wheels. In any case, start by removing the clips and screws along the wheel arches, then move to the bolts along the lower edge, and finally complete the removal of the screws along the tailgate closure line.

Once all screws are removed, detach the sides of the bumper from the respective supports of the rear wheel arches and complete the removal by taking it off completely; the removed part is essentially just a cover as the impact absorbing beam is directly fixed to the chassis.
