Hi to all !!
I have a little dent on my rear bumper stainless steel skid plate. I tried to remove it, but could not remove screws on the bottom. Does any body knows how to remove stainless skid plate?
Thanks

You have to remove the WHOLE bumper. I installed both front and rear as aftermarket stuff and I know that. It has bolts INSIDE the bumper to be secured before you can unscrew the screws outside. Good luck.

Mine is dented too. I was so excited when they included the rear skid plate on the 08 ml350 P2 but now I have 2 small dents in mine from drivers who can't park and I see why they originally went with plastic

Took it to a body shop...no easy repair so I am stuck ignoring it.

German literature calls these items "optical underride protection."

Which means "it looks like a skid plate but is instead decoration!"

I have a 2007 320 CDI with the skidplate. Has anyone noticed an emerging blotches or rust spotrs. I know stainless is not supposed to rust, but mine is clearly developing somke kind of blotches that look like the beginning of rust. They will not wash off.

I had rust stains also and removed them with stainless steel cleaner. It was a non scratching powder. The rust only shows up from road salt.
