2008 RX400h Rear Bumper removal

[Wsurfa1]

I couldn't find anything through search unfortunately...

I've found water ingress at bumper level into the boot, so want to remove the bumper and see if I can fix the issue (possibly cracked seam sealer?).

I can't find any guide for removal - any help appreciated.

I can see what looks like plastic clips on the inside of the wheel liner, but they refuse to budge and I don't fancy wrecking them - any hints :)

Thanks, I'm pretty sure I've isolated the leak, I just can't get the bumper off.

 

I'll see if any on that older thread will reply as to how to get it off without breaking anything

After 2 months without rain, of course it's now raining...hopefully my high tech interim solution of some microfibre cloths stuffed in the boot will work 🙂

I used that high tech solution for a while too.  I gave up trying to fix the leak so I came up with another long-term solution:  drilled a few small holes to let the water out.  🤣. Problem solved!
