    First of all thanks to this forum for the info on the transmission TSB. I tried to convince the dealer something was wrong but they kept telling me it was normal...

    I'm trying to replace one of the rear bumper covers. It's got lots of tabs on it that I can't seem to figure out the right order to get the cover back on. Anyone done this before?

    Did this today... A few comments: IF you only need to do ONE side like me, AND you're just installing a new bumper cover you only need to loosen the three tabs on the center bumper cap to get some play. Then slide the tab under center bumper cap, install the bumper cover by aligning all the tabs and push down the center bumper cap. Reinstall all the push pins and you're done. We did this repair for less than $300.
