This is gold. Managed to get an undamaged bumper from a wrecker and replaced the one I damaged no problems. Wife is talking to me again.Many many thanks
9 years later and this video is still helping people. Well done! I’ll be doing this soon on a family cx-5 with the same type of dent in the rear bumper 👍🏻
I know it probably seems like common knowledge to many of us concerning disconnecting the battery before working on a car, but most people actually don’t remember that or think of it at all. I’m glad you mentioned that for people to hear!
I had to remove the rear bumper of my Mazda CX- 5 in order to install a tow bar. This instruction video was really helpfull . The spoken comment is very understandable and step by step I succeeded in removing the bumper. Greet video. goed teacher. By the way I am in The Netherlands.
Thank you !. I am definitely going to replace my rear bumper on my own you saved me a couple thousands dollars bro! . I have a little project to do 😊😊.
there should be access panels behind the rear tire (held by plastic clips or possibly concealed by the rear mud guards) and from underneath where he was removing the two Philips head screws...
fast Fwd 1-yr later and we were rear ended in a chain reaction crash. the lower black portion took damage from the other person's front plate 😣. w/o a front plate, damage would have been minimal; however, the two bolts dug through the plastic. need to check the rear crash bar. luckily, no airbags deployed. I wrench happiest when nothing breaks, even the plastic clips, when disassembling
The right side of my rear bumper is not clipping in fully closed to the bumper cover not tail light. What do I need to fix that? Appreciate any help on this.
Nice seems simpler than rxiected 2 questions was it just 1 light you removed ? And im.guessing the bumpers loke mone woth reverse sensirs youd need to be careful rekoving not to pull kn cables right ty
Thank you for your detailed steps for fixing the rear bumper. May I ask, when hit by car behind causing damage to rear bumper, the rear protective bar covered by the bumper will in avoidable be damaged which required replacement as well. Can we fix it easily by ourselves too?
Hi, i need to replace the tail light cover on the left side (both - one on the side and other on the hatch that opens). i have Mazda 5, 2015-2016. do you have a video on that?
Omg so easy! Just paid 1040. bucks to have mine painted and replaced with brake light. Does it come painted? Shop is charging me for paint in shop now.
+Trace' Kester I personally don't have a video but those things are glued on so treat it as you would an emblem. Search for "how to remove car emblem" - there are some good videos on CZcams for that. You will need fishing line, and heat gun (even a hair dryer would probably work).
Gene Kim I just boiled some water and poured it on the inside of the bumper. Let it sit for a minute or so and was then able to push the dent out. With a heat gun, I would still use it on the inside of the bumper.
Sand with wet or dry 320 grit, clean and dry first, then spray with semi flat black bumper spray from your Wesco Automotive supply store or from an auto parts store.

Exactly the video I needed. Thanks, I've got to pull my daughter's bumper and repair a 3 inch cut through the bumper.
Thank you so much! Had to attach a tow bar and this video was a life saver!
I just have a loose rear fog light which I need to see what the issue is - is there any easier way to access just the fog itself ?

Do you have any videos on how to remove a rear bumper guard? I need to replace mine and don't want to damage the bumper paint!

Where you able to remove rear bumper guard? If so, how did you do it?
+Simon Wei It was very easy! I used fishing line and a blow dryer!
5:00 what is that electronic gadget in white?
Hey great video! Where did you buy the new replacement part?
Cake Eater I just took the bumper cover off to remove the dent - didn't actually buy a replacement bumper.
happywrenching hi i have a similar dent on my cx 5 on that area. Did you use the heat gun directly to the dent front outside or inside?
Gene Kim I just boiled some water and poured it on the inside of the bumper. Let it sit for a minute or so and was then able to push the dent out. With a heat gun, I would still use it on the inside of the bumper.
Thanks man
where did you got that color for the bumoer cover i been looking for one
Sand with wet or dry 320 grit, clean and dry first, then spray with semi flat black bumper spray from your Wesco Automotive supply store or from an auto parts store.
can you do a video on a 2015 mazda 3 too? :)
Great video! Does anyone know what are the modules on both sides of the body, below the bumper, 4:56 and 5:01 ?
KD3167Y30A and B blind spot monitor modules.
