Anyone know how to remove the F15 rear bumper cover?

I need to do so to install my trailer hitch. Any help would be appreciated.

You first need to take out the rear lights.

1) Unclip the wiring harness to the lights from inside.
2) Loosen the 2 nuts holding each light in and remove the light


Then you need to remove the 2 reflectors

1) Pry out the reflectors from the edge closes to the center of the car ( so working from center of car to the side of the car)


Now you need to remove the wheel arch trim

1) Pull the wheel arch trim away from the bumper working from the rear of the car forward. You only need to pull enough away till you free the bumper and see the bumper attachment screw under the trim.
2) Loosen and remove the screw found under each trim piece that is holding the bumper on.


Now remove many screws holding bumper on

1) Remove 1 screw found under each removed reflectors
2) Remove 1 scre found under each removed rear light
3) Remove about 9 screws holding on bumper from below the car


Now remove the bumper skin

1) Carefully pry and pull the bumper out towards the rear
2) Disconnect any electrical connections to the bumper skin

Bump for those that asked.

Here's a great DIY on an M-Sport bumper. Can't imagine it's that much different on the other lines.
