Auto body repair & detailing: Rear bumper cover 2005 Toyota camry, plastic retainers, 2005 toyota camry


Question
How do I remove and replace the rear bumper cover?  How can a dent in the corner of the bumper be repaired? Can it be knocked out?

Answer
You fix most dents in bumper covers with a cheap heat gun or heat lamp. Heat it up slowly, working the plastic back with a rag or thick gloves, from the inside. The rear cover comes off easy, a couple screws in the wheel well area, a few plastic retainers along the bottom and top. You may find a couple bolts in the trunk area as well.
