Has anyone ever replaced their rear inner bumper? Mine just failed inspection because of too much rust on the impact bar. I have found a replacement but was wondering could the impact bar be replaced without removing the plastic outer cover? Looks like the plastic part attaches to the impact bar at the top under the liftgate. 1582382850650.png

The bumper cover needs to be removed. It's an easy 10-20 minute job too remove it though.

I think there's 4 screws at the wheel well on each side. Then 4 large retainer clips on the bottom on the bumper cover. Then about 6-8 10 mm bolts attaching the bumper cover to the rear of the vehicle where the lift gate closes.

The two sides have clips that hold them in place. Just pull with a little force to remove the sides from the vehicle.

The rest of the bumper cover should pull off easily.
