Is Removing Rear Bumper Cover of 2017 Chevy Malibu Difficult
Updated 05/21/2019 | Published 05/20/2019
Question:
I have a 2017 check Malibu and I need to replace the rear bumper. It has some cracks and needs to be repainted. I went to a body shop but the estimate is too high. I want to buy a new bumper and get it painted and put it myself. Is it easy to take out the rear bumper? Please help

If you check out the hitch install video I attached to this page for a similar Chevy Malibu you'll see the entire process of removing the rear bumper cover. It's not difficult at all. Especially with a guide to show you where all of the attachment clips are.
