How to replace the rear bumper of the Subaru Forester MK4

Model: Subaru Forester MK 4, SJ - Years 2012-2019
Part: Rear bumper

In this video we can see how to replace the rear bumper of the Subaru Forester MK4: the youtuber shows us the car lifted on a bridge, to better show us where the screws to be removed are located, but it is an operation that can also be done on the ground, without problems. So there are seven plastic screws to remove on the lower part of the bumper; they are removed very easily. At the level of the headlights, we will find two screws on the inside, which allow us to remove the cover. We then go to the wheel arches, where we find some clips, which allow us, once removed, to start separating the bumper from the bodywork; we will do the same on the other side, and at this point we can start gently pulling the bumper towards us, detaching the clips. The youtuber then shows us the reassembly which proceeds exactly in the opposite direction, resting the bumper on the bodywork, reattaching the rear clips and then those on the side of the wheel arches. We now proceed with the internal covers of the headlights, and finally with the plastic screws under the bumper.
