How to Remove Rear Bumper Face
Here is a How To on Removing the Rear Bumper Face.
This is a pretty easy thing to do. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...e/Slide1-3.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...e/Slide2-2.jpg This is what it looks like with the Bumper Face removed. Now time for cleaning. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...e/DSCN9627.jpg |
You can actually just remove the two long bolts holding the whole assembly including the alloy beam as one piece. I found it a bit easier that way.
Lots of cleaning ahead for you, but its worth it. Looking good so far. |

Wasn´t it fixed there ? If not, someone took it off before ... wide Regards Norbert |
good point. There were some holes on that area of the bumper face and I might have broken them a bit. i'll post pics of that area sometime.

All the previous little snipets I read about bumper removal never mentioned this little tid bit! |
Are people saying that the bumper face (rear PU) is rivetted to the reinforcement bar? And therefore the reinforcement bar should also be removed as per Pete's additional instructions above?

Let's assume you have a bone-stock 964 still having those 5 bumper rivets:
1) If you were of a mind to leave them in place, does someone know of a DIY "rivets stay in place" bumper removal thread? or, 2) You drilled out the 5 rivets' heads for bumper removal. Is there a noticable sloppiness to the bumper upon its "no rivet" reassembly? (Or, any other downside?) |

(Or, any other downside?) to 2. : there is no problem to drill them out if you drill slow and keep it cool . ... and no problem replacing the rivets . Tey are standart - available in every carshop with the necessary tool. wide Regards Norbert |
I always remove my rear bumper with no issues and have never drilled out any of the factory rivets. I see no need to ever drill them out unless you want to get the bumper cover off of the alloy carrier beam. Save your self some time and just leave them intact. Rear bumper removal should take about 15 minutes requiring no power tools or drill bits.
