914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Rear Bumper Removal

Posted by: robsled Apr 13 2021, 09:03 AM

I need to replace the rear upper rubber bumper strip on my 74 and evidently have to remove the bumper to do it.
Searched and didn't see any tips and nothing on YouTube.

Any advice?

Thanks

4 bolts to remove the bumper. All easily accessed from behind the bumper with the car on the ground.

The upper bolts are in the trunk, the lower bolts are accessed from underneath the car.

And one above the license plate.
Remember to disconnect you license plate lights also

There is also a 10mm nut in the middle on the bottom of the rubber pad that needs to be removed. do that one first to avoid bending the rubber pad when the other supporting bolts are removed.
