I would like to remove and repair the front bumper cover. It has a couple cracks which I may be able to fix myself by plastic welding it and then doing the body work and paint. I have never done this type of repair before and have never removed a bumper cover. Can you provide instructions on how to remove it etc? Any help is appreciated, Gary.

Almost every bumper removal starts at the top w/the hood open. Remove all fasteners at the top of the bumper then remove all fasteners that hold both sides of the bumper cover (typically there is a screw at both ends of the front cover where it is screwed into the fender). Carefully disengage the front headlight wipers (and headlight washer nozzles if equipped) from pivot
Then remove the fasteners on the bottom of the front bumper cover. Take care at this last step to remove any wiring or fog lamp wiring (or washer hoses, again if equipped) before removing the cover completely. Let me know if you have any more questions, TY
