How to remove rear bumper cover My car is 98 ES300 Thank you 1. Remove the bolts and screws at the wheel well next to the rear tires 2. Open up the trunk and you will see bolts attached to the cover at the corner spaces 3. Some models have bolts at the center of the trunk wall. 4. Once you got all the bolts out, you should be able to pull the cover up. In cases where they glued the center of the cover to the bumper wall, you will have to ply it out slowly.
