looking for rear bumper cover base

[Eedie]

Hi,
I have a 2004 Saturn VUE and I need a new/aftermarket/OEM bumper cover base. Does anyone know where I can find a good deal and where I can get help/instructions installing it?

Thanks much,
Eedie

I see them on eBay all the time, honestly I dont think they are expensive because they dont require painting. I would gew new from Saturn. Just a bunch of clips holding it on (I never done one yet).

The problem with used covers is there are rather delicate tabs on the bumper cover that snap into the quarter panels that often are broken when removed from a vehicle

Its an easy job to replace, just remove all the push pins and unsnap it from the quater panels but your best bet is to get a new one and avoid the broken tab delema

Same experience with broken tabs last month. 5 of 6 survived even after following exact removal instructions from a Saturn body shop employee when replacing a broken reflector. Next time I'd go a full replacement route.

Best bumper cover price I could locate at the time:

Here is a link to the instructions for removal and installation of the bumper cover
Good luck, Ken
