Bumper Clunked
Hi All, Just received a tap to the right side of my front bumper. This is right on the curve and the plastic is pushed in a couple of inches. The back side is molded and doesn't help access. Appreciate any ideas on popping out the pushed in area before I price a new cover. Thaks, SW.

when i did that to my stock bumper i drilled a hole in the back side and pushed it out with a bar. it didn't come out easy. i eventually cut it off. then i bought a bumper.
good luck

Pictures might help. I'd probably try a heat gun, but I don't know how much luck you'll have. If it doesn't work, I'm sure you can find a stock cover from a site member for not much money. Good luck.

leave in 90 degree sunlight for a few hours, or heat with hair dryer. this will make it possible to bend.
take toilet plunger and keep hitting it and pulling till it comes out.
you can try drilling or cutting out the back for access, but be wary of water entering
