Question about pulling off the front bumper assembly
I see there is quite a few rubber fasteners holding the assembly on, is there a way to take them off to preserve them for re-installation or not ,if not where can they be purchased . Thank you very much for any help you can contribute.

Re: Question about pulling off the front bumper assembly
You pull the center out with this, and most the time the outer piece comes with it. Sometimes it doesnt but a screw driver should pull the outer part out of it.

Re: Question about pulling off the front bumper assembly
Thanks, took a look at it and I get what your saying, I have a crack and I'm trying to fix it without pulling the whole thing. If it doesn't work I'll pull the bumper. I'm realizing that the internet is a gold mind of ideas but also a goldmine of contradiction. The job is trying to strain out the best suggestions. Maybe the internet needs a internet to source it.

Ok I ended up taking my small grinder and grind down to the depth of a fiber glass fill then epoxied the fiberglass. The finished product being flush. I have so far just left it that way, to see how it holds. So I'll let you know If your interested at all. Or if you just know it won't work let me know that also.

Re: Question about pulling off the front bumper assembly
To be 100% honest with you, the first body work ive done with fiberglass is sitting on a shelf waiting to be painted saturday, so i have no experiance how long that type of repair will last. haha. I would think you would want something flexible in there. Where on the bumper is the damage?
