How to remove rear bumper?

Hi chaps,

Just wondering img if anyone had a how to guide for removing the rear bumper?

Have searched but nothing showing where the release locations are?

Looking to paint the recovery point as there seems to be a lot of rust.

Anyone with advice welcome? Thumbs Up 2016 D4 Landmark

Dead easy job, replaced a PDC on mine, whole job took about 45 minutes on my own. Nick

Agree with the above.

More of a pain if the screws are rounded or corroded. I followed the workshop manual. You will also need a trim removal tool for the plastic push rivets. (Wheel arch and 4no at the top of the bumper in the gap)

Any tips on what to do if the two bolts either side behind the rear lamps are turning, but not loosening off? I had one of the middle PDCs fail and I managed to swap it out without full bumper removal, but in future I’ll need to get past those bolts - both are not releasing. Smoked swooshy side repeaters
