How to reinstall rear bumper cover?

[backwardsR]

Hello everyone I am new on these forums and I have been looking EVERYWHERE but I cannot find how to replace/reinstall a cracked and damaged rear bumper cover on my 2000 Camry.

Does anyone know of any guides or point me somewhere where I can look/research this whole thing up before spending 3+ hours with trial and error?

thank you in advance!

Well I used this picture before on another thread but I can find it:


Basically, there's three push pins on the bottom and four top. (You'll see those when you open the trunk lid) Just ply them off gently. There's also 6 nuts, three on each side holding the bumper. You have to remove the plastic that covers the taillights from inside the trunk to get to these nuts.

That is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.

No problem. Be careful with those plastic clips, they can break easily. Also, I forget to mention that there's two 10mm bolts too. One on each side next to the taillights. You'll see them when the trunk is open.

Can you use a 4.5 rear cover on a 4.0? Are there many/any differences?
