Help on Replacing rear bumper
Friday, June 10, 2005 6:59 PM
I need to replace the rear bumper on my 2001 sunfire. I have a new one ready to be put on but I'm not sure how to do it. I was told it's easy and it just bolts on and off. Anyway, just wanted to check so I didn't screw something up. Thanks.

In the trunk you will have two bolts on each side . Remove those and you will see some fasteners when the trunk is popped that are located beside each tail light . Remove those as well . on the bottom side of the bumper you will see some more plastic fasteners . If you pull up on the center piece on these it will pop up then you can remove the plastic fasteners and be able to reuse them .

Only takes about 5 minutes to remove . If it seems like it is stuck , check before ripping it off there may be another fastener or bolt some place you may have forgot about .

Also...

Cavaliers have 2x 10mm bolts in each rear wheel well, that go into a plastic support piece bolted to the inside of the bumper. That's where the two bolts on the inside of the quarter panel also screw down into..

I don't know if Sunfire is the same.. but I imagine that it probably is.
