How do you remove the rear bumper cover on my '08 S550?
Like an idiot, I backed into something this weekend. It actually punctured a large hole in the bumper. Was actually surprised as it looked to be more fiberglass than rubber like I expected. Anyway, was looking around at rear bumper covers at the wrecking yards..
How do you get the rear bumper cover off???

did this 2 days ago. Fairly easy and straight forward. 30mins tops once you know where the bolts are. Even without instructions if you take a look at where the bumper is firm , you will have an idea of where the bolts are.
2 or 3 bolts behind the fender liner on each side, pull the liner and you will see them. The rest are on the inner side of the trunk: 2 on each side of the rear panel on the inside. I unbolted the electrical stuff blocking it for easier access, took 2 secs anyways. and the remaining two are on the inside body part (the actual rear between the two taillights,.
hopes that makes sense. I can take some pics for you tomorrow if you want.
Just let me know if you need them.
