Hi guys and gals....
Has anyone ever "safely removed" the top rear bumper pad (plastic cover) on a rear step bumper without damaging the little plastic locking tabs, and re-using the pad on a different bumper ?
I just bought a nice, used chrome rear step bumper to replace my black step bumper. The used chrome bumper that I just purchased, does not have the top pad (black plastic cover) on it. So I was wondering if it is possible to remove the old pad from my old black bumper "safely" (without damaging the little square plastic locking tabs) and re-using it on the chrome bumper that I just got ?
Has anyone safely done this without damaging the plastic locking tabs ? Can those tabs be re-used to “securely” hold down the pad to the next bumper flat ?
Or should I just buy a new pad ?
Heres a pic of the cover / pad that I am talking about.
Thanks everyone.
