Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / February 2006Removing the rear bumper / fender on a UK 99 Voyager
I want to install some reversing sensor to the above vehicle. Does the rear bumper have a metal frame within the plastic moulding? The reason is I need to thread the sensor wires around and along the inside of the bumper and also drill 20mm holes in the bumper to fix the sensors into it. So at worst I will need to remove the rear bumber and fit them. So can anyone explain how to remove teh bumper, or point me in the direction of a diagram online somewhere. Many thanks SteveB > I want to install some reversing sensor to the above vehicle. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > SteveB I am not sure how UK bumper configurations compare to those of the U.S. On most U.S. vehicles, there are two impact absorbers that are connected to a steel bumper with a plastic cover. This plastic cover usually needs to be removed to access the bolts holding the steel bumper to the impact absorbers. The cover may be held on with bolts or plastic rivets. Do you need to drill holes into just the plastic cover, or into the steel bumper? The strength of the steel bumper may be compromised if this is done. I am curious to see what other posters have to say. -Kirk Matheson On 24 Feb 2006 Kirk Matheson wrote: >> I want to install some reversing sensor to the above vehicle. >> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >-Kirk Matheson Kirk, Thanks for the info. The sensors are approximately 20mm in dia and similar in depth, so if the steel is more than 25mm away from the rear of the plastic I'll not need to drill into the steel, however if the steel is closer then I'll need to drill through both... Anyone else? Steve Is this a DaimlerChrysler kit, or a general fits all vehicles kit? If it's a DC kit, It should have a detailed instructions with Pics to do it. And in that kit you do not drill thru the steel. Anyways, call the number for Customer Service for DaimlerChrysler, and tell them you purchased the DC kit and there's no instructions with the kit, and the will mail them to you. You can use those as instructions if it's a general kit too. |
