Question Need Help!!! How to remove Rear Bumper Left Cover Grill Fit？？？
I bought 15-18 MERCEDES BENZ W205 AMG 4DR BLK SNAP ON BUMPER VENT CANARDS INSERT on ebay as shown:
But I can't install it because I need to remove the part shown in the image, but I don't know how to remove it. There are no tutorials online.
Does anyone know how to remove and install it? Thank you.

I could access the backside by lifting the car so I didnt take the bumper of to install them. Its however not easy to take out the oem covers without damaging one of the clips.

I did mine in about 5 minutes...needle nose pliers and lift straight UP...they pop right out. The new one's push right in.

Use a pick or something to pull the top out. Once you have a little bit of the grill out, pull toward you until you unclip the top two clips. Once the top two clip are out, slide the grill up.

You mean it comes in from the top, will the next part pop up?

What does it take to pull out, it seems that there is no place to work.

Actually. If you have dental floss... that might work. Slip it behind the top portion and use it to pull the top clip out.

I used a small pocket screwdriver to pull it out a little bit until I could grip it with my nails. Be careful with the screwdriver. Don’t use the bumper as leverage to pop it out as the bumper is soft.

I removed my rear bumper this weekend and it was not very easy. All the rivets were a pain to remove and most broke.

This does not need to remove the rear bumper, just need to use the fishing line to hook the top and pull out, very simple, without any damage.
