How to remove the front and rear bumper SEAT Exeo

Depending on the year of manufacture and model variant, the mounting locations differ slightly.

-Under the hood, unscrew the screws and pull out the pins that secure the bumper and radiator grille to the upper frame.
-Along the entire length at the bottom of the bumper, unscrew the screws that secure the engine protection and fender liners to the bumper.
-Unscrew the wheels to the left or right, depending on which side of the bumper you will unscrew first.
-Unscrew the screws that secure the fender liners to the bumper.

-move the fender liners to the side and unscrew two nuts on each side that secure the bumper to the wing (you will need a head with an extension of about 40 cm) and the screws that secure the edges of the bumper to the brackets.
-pull the edges of the bumper off the side locks (pull the edge of the bumper towards you)
-pull the bumper towards you (it is advisable to do this together so as not to scratch the paint on the fenders with the pins).
-now disconnect the connectors from the fog lights (if any).

- if there are headlight washers, you need to disconnect the hoses from the nozzles and close them with plugs so that the liquid does not leak out of the tank or prepare a special container.
- remove the connector from the parking sensors (if any).

Rear bumper

Depending on the year of manufacture and model variant, the mounting locations differ slightly.

- remove the side trim in the trunk (if there are any, then special hatches) to gain access to the rear lights from the inside.
- unscrew three nuts (maybe two) on each side under the rear lights (you will need a 10 head with an extension).
- unscrew two nuts on each side under the lights closer to the trunk lid.

- if there is a parking sensor, you need to disconnect the common connector.
- at the very bottom of the bumper, unscrew the bolts under the star.

-unscrew four screws on each side connecting the bumper to the fenders (in order not to remove the wheels, you can use a ratchet with the right attachment).
- pull the edges of the bumper off the side latches (pull the edge of the bumper towards you).
- remove the bumper (it is better to do this together so as not to scratch the paint on the fenders with the pins).
