Removing the rear bumper cover

Is this difficult? What basically has to be done? How long will it take to do?

jack up the rear and look, you'll see where it connects and the bolts holding it on.

get a 10mm ready, not hard just remove the bolts and try to remove, any tension a bolt might still be on trace it and take it off. shouldnt take longer than 30mins

What he said!!! its not hard maybe it will take you anywhere from 30-2h depending. Its just a lot of bolts and you defiantly need patience. With that its easy.

there are 6 - 10mm bolts on buttom, 3-12mm on each side inside the q-panels, plastic clips on top of cover, might want to take out tails to get to the two clips under tails per side or take out the bracket that holds the cover by taking out the 2 - 10mm on the inside of the back panel. Should not take you more than 40 minutes for a newbee and no more than 10 minutes for someone with experience. (Like me )
