Parts

BMW Chromatic Rear Bumper Trim

Step 1

The Rear Tailgate Trim is located on the backside of the car.

Step 2

Remove the damaged trim by gently prying it off with a flathead screwdriver.
Insert the screwdriver between the car and the trim slowly and gently to avoid scratching your car.
Apply pressure on the trim and listen for a "POP" noise.

Step 3

Once you hear the "POP," grab the trim and pull it towards you.
Go across and pull each part of the trim towards you until the whole trim is detached.
There are several clips along the edge of the trim holding it in place. The "POP" sounds are caused by those clips disengaging.

Step 4

This is how the trim area should appear after removal.
Prepare for the replacement portion of the repair by setting aside the old damaged trim.

Step 5

Unwrap your new BMW rear trunk chromatic trim.
Check for any damaged parts on your new trim. If there is any damage do not use it.

Step 6

Your new rear trim should have clip tabs throughout the backside of the trim.
Line up the clip tabs with the holes on the empty trim area of your vehicle.
If your new trim is a missing a tab for any reason, this trim will not work and you will need to discard or return your new trim, because the repair can not be complete with any tabs missing.

Step 7

Firmly push the clip tabs into each of the holes on the bumper of your car.
You should hear a click sound as the clip engages.
Start at either end of the trim and move along in a line until all the clips are engaged.
