My wife put a dent right above the backup sensor on the driver's side under the tail light. I could probably push it out if I can get to it. How do i loosen/ remove the cover to get to it?

TIA

There are 6 screws across the top of the cover, near where the lift gate closes. 2 screws inside each wheel well. 4 plastic clips under the cover that pop out.There is a slot molded on the inside of the cover on each side, near the tail lights. Make sure you are aligned with the bracket that fits into the slot.

this happened to our van as well. Once the bumper is off, take a heat gun (not a hair dryer - too cool) and heat the inside of the bumper until it goes a bit shiny. Takes a minute or 2. Using a wood, rounded object gently push the bump out. Keep working it until it looks as previous to damage. It's a pretty easy fix. Just don't get it too hot.
