Replacing the Front Bumper

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Front bumper

Open the front bonnet and release the 6 plastic push clips along the edge of the grille (generally, press the centre pin inwards and then pull out the clip). Using an 8 mm socket, unscrew the fixing bolts along the edge of the wheel arches and those directly under the bumper. At this point, unclip the bumper from the sides and pull it forward to remove it after disconnecting the fog light connector and the washer tube. To refit it, first reconnect the connectors and the washer tube, rest it on the slam panel (insert a screwdriver into one of the push clip holes to support it), clip it into the side guides, re-screw the previously removed bolts, and reapply the push clips.
