Model: Mercedes Gl MK 1, X164 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Rear bumper

Today's main instructions will allow us to disassemble and replace the rear bumper of the Mercedes GL. First, we open the rear trunk door and start unscrewing all the fastening screws we find above and below the rear bumper; then we remove all the clips and screws located on both sides of the wheel arches, as shown in the video. At this point, we gently release the bumper on the sides until it is completely removed, disconnecting the light connectors; we replace the rear bumper with the new one, fixing it properly to the bodywork.
