OK, I got the bumper pad/molding thing figured out, but what about those Nut Clips? There are eight of 'em for the bumper brackets, and four smaller ones for the bumper braces. I can't figure out how to remove them from the old OEM bumper to put them on the new OEM bumper . . .

Can they be taken off (if so, how?) and re-used, or do I have to go buy new ones from the dealership?

U're right if u guessed I'm a rookie at this!

Thanks, in advance.

 

I think ya gotta push in the middle of the plastic an it release. The tension and they come right out or ya pry the pry the putter part up. I did his an cant rememe r which way is right. Hope helps a little. Had me confused too lol

 

I used a flat tip screwdriver carefully. Just get it under the lip and turn the screwdriver so it lifts the clip and wiggle it out. Your bumper didn't come with new clips?

 

No, it didn't. I didnt buy it from a dealer (at least not a Ford dealer!)

 

Yea I did what Heritage and got them off quick and easy

 

I picked my bumper up from certifit.com. Only ran me $35 and a 20 minute drive to pick it up.
