Steps
Release bumper fasteners
Protect the painted edges, remove the upper clips, and take out the wheel-well and lower bumper bolts. Keep the fasteners grouped by location.
Disconnect washer connections
Pull the cover forward enough to reach the washer wiring and hose. Unplug the connector and release the hose clamp without damaging the hose.
Remove and position cover
Support the cover as it separates from its guides. Align it with the body openings before reconnecting washer components during installation.
Secure and inspect
Reconnect the washer hose and wiring, then seat the bumper and reinstall the upper, wheel-well, and lower fasteners. Test the washers and check panel gaps.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
