Rear bumper step replacement
Has anyone replaced it? There are a few notches that need to be pressed down.

I couldn't find the tutorial, so things went nuts, but the result is worth it.

Details or a how-to document would be helpful, the replacement looks great! Where'd you score it from?

From here:https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqNfJ3O

The original is made of two parts, the aluminum top and black plastic bottom. Pulling them out together was impossible, we had to remove the aluminum first with some trial and error and then with lots of prying tools the plastic part gave in. The bumper received minor scratches which we touched up.

Was the shipping really more than the part and 2 months to deliver as shown in the listing? Yikes!
