Instructions

      Place towels on a flat surface long ways for the bumper to rest

    • 2

      Remove the bumper cover(bumper) off of your vehicle
      and lay it on top of the towel, this will prevent you from sliding the bumper on the floor making scratch marks

    • 3

      heat up the surface where you are going to pop out for about 2-5mins till the surface is hot and easy to push back out
      using a blow dryer may take longer

    • 4

      after u push the surface out, soak the rag in the bucket of ice water then super cool the surface.

    • 5

      check the surface and it should be at least 90% back into place

      install the cover back on car

Tips & Warnings

  • !Call a buddy to help you push the surface out, sometimes 4 hands are better than 2

  • !If having problems you can use a rubber mallet as a tool to help u push it out

  • -Its free so close to original is better than paying over 300bucks for a new bumper

  • !If you are fixing the bumper for insurance reasons, let a body shop do the repair, insurance fraud is a crime. !Wear gloves when working with hot surface so you wont burn yourself

    I backed into a tree (at low speeds) with a 2006 Mazda 3 and it dented the corner of the bumper pretty badly. I didn't even need to take the back bumper off. I just used a hair dryer to warm the plastic up for 4-5 minutes and then pushed the plastic out with my hand. The plastic cracked slightly but it look much better than it did originally. With a little touch up paint (that I got when I bought the car from the dealer) it should look pretty close to new.
