How to remove the rear bumper of the Volkswagen Golf IV

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Rear bumper

In this video we can see how to remove the rear bumper of the Volkswagen Golf IV: the youtuber had already removed the rear lights, which is a necessary step to access the screw located under the space created by their removal; on the outside we will instead find a clip. At the bottom of the bumper, we find three more screws to remove, and then we have to enter the wheel arch to find more: there are only three on each side. Then we will find one behind the license plate, under the trunk carpet. Now we can pull the bumper towards us, but we will find an electrical connector on the left side to disconnect. But now the job is done.
