im trying to get the rear bumper cover off to paint anyone know what to do

 

There were I believe (3) speed nuts per side inside the car, I believe the interior trim pieces had to be removed to access them (spare tire cover and lockable storage area). I believe the tail lights had to be removed as well. There were some fasteners at or behind the license plate area and the rest were the plastic fasteners below the bumber. There are some pictures w/o the bumper on my fquick page if you think it will help.

 

thanks hope this rain holds off

 

Remove rear hatch panel, spare tire panel, drivers side plastic can just be loosened. Remove taillights. 3 {10mm IIRC} nuts on each side. 5 push pins on bottom, six on top. Slide cover off.

 

thanks zride rain stopped got the thing off.

 

 

Just remember when putting the back bumper back on, to clean up the fasteners and seal up the 6 penetrations through the body (where you had to remove the interior trim at the speed nuts) with some kind of sealant. Glad the rain stopped for you, if only the frikin' snow would stop here...

 

This is a good tip, RTV should seal them up pretty good for you.You can find it in Pep Boys and Autozone usually.
