Thanks.


You shouldn't need any special tools.

-You'll need to take the inner trunk panels out and remove the bumper
cover nuts.
-Remove the gas-fill drain hose.
-Take off cover to quarter panel screws...in the wheel arch, 2 per
side.
-From underneath, take off the pin-style retainers.

That should do it

Another pair of hands would be good. But if you're going solo and it
starts to get unwieldy as your taking the cover off (or putting the
new one on) you might use some painters tape to hold it in place as
you get each side removed (or installed)

Buena suerte

Why? Seems easy enough to work around.
Other than that, I was going to post the same thing.

I may be mistaken, but I think the drain hose is connected to the
bottom of the cover so it's going to have to come off anyway.
I guess I could have been clearer and said 'Remove the gas-fill drain
hose from the bumper cover'
....but that's why I'm not a tech writer :)­
