Rear Bumper Removal Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Pull the rear bumper ends (wheel arch) outward to detach from the bumper slider.
CAUTION:
- When detaching the rear bumper from the bumper slider, the rear bumper could fall and be damaged. Secure the rear bumper so that it does not fall.
