SSM TSX. Got a tiny ding just above the rear tire, at the seam between the bumper panel and the metal one above. Hardly noticeable. Looked like a bit of paint came off the inside edge of the seam. Too tight a space to sandpaper, etc., so just pushed in touch-up paint - but I can see a light 1/2" streak of brown (rust?) inside the seam there now.

I dread a body shop, because it always seems standard practice to repaint large areas for the smallest blemish. What I'd like to do is (if possible) is drop the rear bumper cover so I could sand, prime, and touch up paint this small very area. Is it possible ?

Thanks.

Search for the installation pdf on the rear bumper trim OEM air dam (forget the name of the part). I believe it explains how to remove the bumper. I know the front one does for sure.

 

Sam, I had previously scanned the page from the TSX Service Manual which shows how the rear bumper cover is attached. If you PM me with your email address, I'll email it to you.

I haven't done it on the TSX, but removal/install doesn't look too difficult. There are a total of 10 fasteners of various kinds.

Thanks. Got the info.

 

Sorry to bump a 3 year old thread, but does anyone have the page CDR is talking about or any other instructions on rear bumper removal?

 

here you go..it's not hard at all

 

Does anyone have instructions to remove the rear bumper? The link on this thread no longer works.

 

Yeah like above I'm looking for instructions for the removal of the rear bumper cover, might aswell save the instructions for the front bumper cover removal as well if anyone has both
