Hey guys quick question. I had my CRD at a body shop for a accident and they had to remove the rear bumper cover to prep and paint it. I recently noticed that the top edge directly under the the tailgate seal has 3 self tapping screws holding it flush against the body. That seems well pretty cheap as far as how the bumper cover mounts Im sure. If you guys don't mind taking a look. Does your Liberty have any fastners holding the bumper cover to the body in this location or is the body shop half assing the work? TIA Mark. |

Are you talking about the black plastic cover that is in two pieces left and right  Together both pieces have 8 "dimples" that look like they might be some type of catches or clips. I suspect your retainers broke on removal or in the collision  There's NO screws, rivets or other visable fasteners on mine  Don't you just love body shops

No visible fasteners on the rear cover. I do not have mine anymore but when I removed they were all under the cover. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

no there are not any screw holding it on. The rear step pad is not reusable according to the Jeep parts book. I believe it uses rear tabs that are melted on the lower bumper cover. Regardless the body shop should have replaced the step pad. |

Hey guys thanks for the replys. It looks like it is suppose to have blind fasteners I guess. Another thing to bring up with the body shop. Why is it so hard to find a good one? |
