Rear Bumper Removal - Estate


Recommended Posts

I have an Elegance Estate to which I need to fit a tow bar. It has tow bar prep, so the electrics are straightforward and the bumper has been pre-cut.

 

The hardest part will be removing the rear bumper. Has anyone any experience of this?

Here is a pic of the rear bumper:

From memory no Torx bolts under the rear light cluster but 2 plastic tabs on each side which align the rear bumper cover to the car.

Use carprog2 link on LHS then,

Change VW to Skoda >> Octavia 5E 2014 >> Body

Picture 807-55 should be VRS rear bumper.

I'm fitting a tow bar also and with all the torx bolts removed I still cant seem to get the bumper off. Did you manage yours?

I found an additional torx screw in each wheel arch behind the mudguard. No mention of these in any video or blog or fitting instructions and really difficult to access. What a pain! Bumper now removed.
