Gidday all,
I have just bought a Hayman Reece tow bar that I will be fitting this weekend. The instruction say to remove the rear bumper which looks fairly simple. But one thing has me a little stumped. The manual says to remove the bumper finisher. Its a bit of plastic trim that hides the bolts that hold the bumper to the body. I am having a hard time working out how to get it off. Has anyone done this before??
Cheers all, Brian.

I think the bumper needs to come off to insert the nuts into the rail ... one of mine had a rattle from new, and it ended up being the wire welded onto the end of the nut to poke it insideQuote:
