Chrysler Repair: T&C front bumper cover r&r, step by step directions, splash shields


Question
I need to replace the bumper cover on an 05 T & C.  How difficult is this? Are
there step by step directions anywhere?  Thanks

Answer
Hi Don,
I checked both my '98 Chrysler shop manual and my Haynes '96-99 manual for the T & C and find a page or so that shows the steps and fasteners involved in the bumper "facia" removal. The question I have is whether this is still applicable to the '05 model. If you can't find a Haynes that covers your year model of van, I would be pleased to xerox copy and postal mail what I have to you.
I can only afford to get manuals used when their price drops, after about 6-7 years, as I do this as a volunteer. Thus I have to deny and specific 'expertise' about more recent models.
Some public libraries stock these manuals as well.
It doesn't appear to be too difficult:
removing bolts that hold it to the headlamp panel, located at the sides of the grill, raising the front end to remove a couple of fasteners of the front wheelhouse splash shields for access to the fasteners that hold the facia to the bottom of the fenders, then fasteners that hold the bottom of it to the radiator closure panel, and finally the wires that connect to the parking and turn signal lamp housings.
Send me you address to my email: rfinston@hotmail.com if you want these pages from '98-9 era manuals.
