Anyone have a pdf or instructions on how to remove the rear bumper on the '03 or later model?

E320 CDI
There is a big gap between the tail lights and the rear bumper. I can see that the passenger side of the rear bumper is pushed out a little big. The previous owner must have bumped into something.

Is it easy to realign the rear bumper given the above condition? Are there any adjustable brackets at the back side like the brackets showing on both left and right sides?

I can post my email here if anyone got pics to share.

the fix

I aligned my rear bumper by removing the trunk quarter panel lining (kinda funky procedure but easy to figure out) and proceeded to loosen the two bolts there associated with the bumper. I then removed the rear wheel and the lower wheel well lining (simple task) and loosened the bolt right at the front of the bumper where it meets the body. Once this was done, it was fairly easy to align my bumper and gap(s) on the one side (left rear). I did not have to screw around with anything like the clips under the bumper where it attaches to the unibody. Unless yours has popped out of the clips, the procedure I describe should work for you.

Drop me a PM with a contact number and we can talk via telephone if you want.
