How to replace the rear bumper of the Volkswagen Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Rear bumper

Today's instructions will show us how to disassemble and replace the rear bumper of the Volkswagen Polo, in simple steps. First, we open the rear hatch of the car and start unscrewing the fixing screws we find on the top and bottom; then we unscrew the additional screws we find on both sides of the wheel arches, gently releasing the bumper on the sides until it is completely removed, as shown in the video. At this point, we carry out the repair or replacement of the rear bumper, securing it properly with the screws (replacing them if damaged).
