Dismantling the rear bumper of the Volkswagen Tiguan

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan BW, MK 2, AD - Years 2016-2025
Part: Rear bumper

Today's instructions will allow us to disassemble and replace the rear bumper of the Volkswagen Tiguan. First, let's open the rear hatch of the trunk and start unscrewing all the fastening screws we find on the upper and lower parts of the bumper; we remove the additional screws located on both sides of the front wheel arches, as shown in the video. At this point, we gently detach the bumper from the sides to remove it, disconnecting the fog light electrical connector; if necessary, we replace the rear bumper with the new one, securing it properly.
