2003 Camry Rear bumper

[hungdle3969]

Hi All,

The rear bumper on my 2003 Camry is dented a little bit. I want to repair it myself but I don't know if it easy to open it? I also don't know if I have to replace the plastic screws once I open it or I reuse those screws? Would anybody can help me with that?
Thank you.

where is the dent at? Generally you can just pop the dent out using your hand, otherwise you may need to use a rubber mallet(but be gentle).

Also you can reuse the screws as long as you dont break them. To take out the screws get a flathead screwdriver and just pry the heads up. If you need to replace the screws they generaly run $0.03 some dealerships may charge more and may make you buy atleast 25 of them.

Most of the screws that hold up the bumper is located along the trunk opening and inside the trunk, behine the carpetting.

With the carpet, you can just peels that back to access the screws and the taillights.

If it's just the vinyl cover then just warm it up with a hair dryer and massage it back to form. Wear gloves.
