Q: How do you remove and install a front and rear bumper cover on Buick Enclave,Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia?
A: To remove the front bumper cover, start by applying the parking brake and raising the vehicle on jackstands for support. Then, remove the front inner fender splash shields and carefully pry off the fender trim panel. Next, remove the fasteners joining the bumper cover and the lower front part of each fender, as well as the front air dam mounting fasteners. Remove the fasteners from the top and bottom of the bumper cover, and carefully pull the bumper cover away from the front and sides of the vehicle. Disconnect all electric connections using a flat screwdriver to press the tabs between the bumper and fenders, as well as the headlight bracket. To install the front bumper cover, simply reverse the removal steps, and having an assistant can be helpful. For the rear bumper cover removal, start by removing the inner fender splash shield fasteners that attach to the bumper. Then, open the liftgate and pry off the bolt covers from the top of the bumper cover, and remove the fasteners. Carefully pry off the fender trim panel from the bumper cover, and detach the fasteners securing the bottom of the bumper cover. Pull the bumper cover out and away from the vehicle while disengaging the tabs, and disconnect all electrical connections as needed. To install the rear bumper cover, simply reverse the removal steps.
