Steps to remove the bumper of a LANGDONG: 1. Remove the clips on the left and right inner liners and pry open the liners. 2. There is a screw on the inner side of each bumper corner; gently pry it open. 3. Open the hood and remove the clips on top of the bumper. 4. Finally, remove the clips and screws at the bottom. Below is some relevant information about car bumpers: A car bumper is a safety device that absorbs and mitigates external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle. Both the front and rear bumpers of a car are made of plastic, hence called plastic bumpers. Generally, a car's plastic bumper consists of three parts: the outer panel, the cushioning material, and the crossbeam. The outer panel and cushioning material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is formed by stamping cold-rolled thin sheets into a U-shaped channel. The outer panel and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam.
I've taken off the Langdong bumper quite a few times, so here's some practical advice. First, gather your tools: a Phillips screwdriver, a 10mm socket wrench, and possibly a plastic pry bar. Here's the step-by-step: Start by opening the hood and the wheel arch covers to locate and loosen several screws underneath the chassis. Then, inside the wheel arches, you'll find plastic clips—carefully pry them open with the pry bar to avoid damage. Gently pull the bumper outward, being mindful not to yank too hard since it's connected to the fog light wiring. If the wiring is attached, disconnect the plug first. After removal, check that all clips are intact to prevent issues during reinstallation. Throughout the process, protecting the car's paint is crucial to avoid scratches. If you're unsure, it's best to consult the owner's manual or visit a professional repair shop, as modern car designs are quite intricate and DIY attempts can easily go wrong.
