Bumper removal technique

Read more about dismantling the front bumper in the material: “removing the front bumper on a Renault Duster: nothing complicated.”

You will need a Torx wrench with T20 and T30 bits. First, remove the mudguards - they are attached with self-tapping screws, as well as with one plastic piston.

First steps for dismantling

The piston is snapped off with a flat screwdriver. And when the mudguard is removed, you can unscrew the screw on the fender liner. It holds the bumper (part 13).

Don't forget that a similar screw (13) is located at the bottom of the bumper. In the second step, unscrew the screws in the trunk and also loosen the screws from below.

Loosen the screws, unscrew the screws

Our photo illustrates the last two actions.

A T30 bit fits the screw heads. And T20 is for self-tapping screws.

Plastic mount

On the Renault Duster crossover, removing the rear bumper includes the following steps:

1. It is necessary to unscrew the fastening elements (12 and 13), loosen the screw clamps (part 9);
2. The plastic bumper is moved away from brackets 2 and 3 to the side. The main thing is not to break the latch tabs.

You need to start removing the bumper from the latches from the wheel side. The photo shows the result.

Two final steps (dismantling completed)

When the bumper is not held in place by anything, it is simply pulled towards itself. It is better to carry out this operation together.

Article numbers of the original part and suitable replacement parts

The front bumper, supplied under part number 620930759r, has a standard design. Fans of more interesting models will like the article numbers 620220025r and 620220030r.

Removing the front bumper

All generations of Renault Duster use screws and self-tapping screws. Their main location:

• 4 screws at the top
• 2 self-tapping screws in fender liners
• 5 screws at the bottom

The restyled bumper is attached in a similar way, but to avoid unnecessary questions during operation, let’s take a closer look at each of the options:

Main stage

First of all, you need to remove the rear lights. This is done quite simply: the screws that hold them on the plane of the bumper are unscrewed, and then the parts are freely dismantled.

The main thing is to remember to disconnect the power terminals to avoid damaging the wiring.

Then a 20mm Torx wrench is used, with which the lower part of the bumper is unscrewed. There will be only four screws, and they are all located evenly along the bottom edge of the plastic. The next step is to look under the mudguards. Here you need to use a 7mm wrench and unscrew the four screws that secure the mudguard to the bumper body.

Next, a 20mm Torx wrench will come in handy again. Using it, you need to disconnect the fastenings to the body, which are located adjacent to both mudguards. Then, finally, using a 30mm Torx wrench, unscrew the four screws that are located on the rear surface of the bumper, next to the parking sensors.

Next comes the most sensitive stage of work - disconnecting the bumper from the body and releasing its plastic latches from engagement with it. If you follow the video and photographic materials, work should begin with the left and right sidewalls, since the resistance of the latches there is quite low. Then they smoothly move to the middle until dismantling is finally completed.

The difficulty is not to damage the already fragile hooks. To avoid this, do not apply too much force or put excessive pressure on the plastic parts when dismantling them.

Another problem may lie in fasteners that have become sour from dirt and moisture. This is where VD-40 or any other composition designed to dissolve rust and lubricate rusted screws comes to the rescue.

There are 2 screws on each side of the fender liner. The second one can be found at the bottom. After this, the T20 key will no longer be needed. You need to take the T30 key.

The most powerful fasteners are located at the top. After these screws are unscrewed, you must carefully move the plastic to the side to disconnect the part from the latches located on special brackets. If during the removal process the brackets are damaged or bent, it is better to replace them with new ones.
