I am trying to get the rear bumper off of my F60 to install a trailer hitch for a bike rack. The instructions by the hitch supplier are a little intimidating wrt getting the bumper off. Aftyer you remove the screws, the instruction mention that the bumper is is held in place on both side of the vehicle by 3 clipsand that you need to pull HARD to get the clips to release. I hope to do this install next weekend but this is a case where a video would be very useful to confirm exactly where to pull and what direction to pull in. I did a search but did not find anything useful.
HAs anyone have any tips or video.
Thank you
Ian

Hihi! @ijourneaux any luck with installing your hitch on your hybrid?

 

I didnt think to take any pictures but it wasnt very difficult. The only question that came up was how much of the heat shield to reim off. I wned up getting a quick release pin so i could remove the hitch easily

 

Excellent!! Thanks for replying!

Do you have pics of the finished install? Maybe a manufacturer name and/or part number for the hitch you used?

 

Sorry I don't know if you only get notified if I go @ijourneaux lol see above

 

My coop is in the shop so cant get you a picture. If youvtake care cutting the hole in the bumper it looks really clean. They include a rubber plug for when the hitch is off the car.
