Damaged Corner Bumper

[WildMaverick51]

My right rear corner of my rear bumper was pushed in as a result of hitting a mailbox post. Does anyone know if I can push out the corner from the inside or should I just replace the outer bumper skin?

If you could post a picture or 2 that could help other members give you a better opinion. Hope it's an easy fix!

Thank you I will do that.

Keep searching. I saw a similar post with an almost identical dent that was successfully repaired. I don't remember exactly how it was done now.

That outer skin should be pretty easy to push back out and I don't think that there is any crush structure under there, but if you have the cp360 package, how close is that to the cross-traffic and blis sensors that are in that corner of the bumper?

Try to heat it up with a heat gun, or hair drier. You may see it pop back in shape. If you can get behind it, give it a little push from the back.

I would stick my hand up there and try and push it out from behind.

If you have any sticking points you could leave the bumper out in the sun or use a heat gun (but not too much heat) to make the bumper more receptive to corrections.

Try to use a Hair drier on med/high or heat gun on low from behind it as to not discolor the black then push out with a rounded wooden or plastic dowel.
