How to Remove the Rear Bumper

If you need to remove the bumper to replace or repair it, follow the steps shown in this video. First, always disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Then, remove the cover and disconnect the connectors for the rear lights. Next, unscrew the three screws to completely detach the light units.

Now unscrew the two screws at the corners of the bumper. Release the clips of the trim on the wheel arch and remove it, but only partially.

Underneath the trim, there are two more clips to release and one screw. Moving to the lower part, you will need to remove additional clips and two screws.

Now, simply detach the bodywork section that includes the bumper. When reassembling, ensure the piece is perfectly aligned and reattach it. Reinsert the clips and the screw under the wheel arch and refit the trim onto the wings.

Then, replace the clips under the wing, those under the bumper, and the corner screws. At this point, you can reassemble the light units.

Reconnect the battery and reset the electric windows by pressing the ignition button twice. Fully lower the electric windows and then close them while holding the button for a few seconds.

Then, hold the TPMS button until you hear a beep. Car model: MAZDA CX-5 Year: 2013 Required tools: panel clip removal tool, 8 mm and 10 mm socket.
