Anyone have info on how to remove the plastic cover on the rear bumper?
Disconnected all lights, sensors, trailer hitch power, and I was able to pull up
the ends to remove metal winglet end, but could not remove/pull up the Center
section of the plastic, where the license plate is. Didn't want to damage or bend it,
so didn't pull as hard as I wanted to.....frustrating!!

After putting back down the plastic end, several of the crappy pressure tabs got bent or broken,
and now it won't lay exactly flat like it was before. I removed the metal bumper wing to pop
a dent back out, which was simple, but that plastic cover was a PIA because of a single bolt
near the center I needed to access. Stupid design.
