Rear side marker reflector removal?

Molitor · June 18th, 2009, 05:36 AM

I'm going to tint them, the reflectors on the side of rear bumper, has anyone ever removed them and put them back on? How did you do it and what did you use, this would be something I prob could figure out by myself, but car is on the other side of the earth,

lol, so any help would be amazing, thanks.

i tinted mine sometime ago. it did involve removing the rear bumper cover to get to the screws to take them off.

oh okay, cool they are screwed, i was hoping that they were not no double sided tape BS

yup! no tape in there. its funny because its not really a nut, but yet it is. the reflector have a plastic stud on them, and its this chinsy lookin nut wanna be thing on there. if i remember correctly there are 2 of them on each side. but its been well over a year since i have my bumper off and i cannot remember. you would think that you could undo the side and have enough room to get back there, but when i tried it looked like i was gonna rip the cover in the process, so i just took it off. figured it was easier to take it off to remove them then to have to remove the bumper to have it repaired because my lazy ass tried to take a short cut.

I currently have mine out. Bryan, why dont you just ask me these kinds of questions? Lol. My car is nothing right now. Everything is off except front bumper and driver side door. Its a plastic stud with a self cutting nut. Very cheap and chinsy so be careful. One of mine broke off so Im just buying tinted ones.
