The document shown here describes the removal of the bumper. • On vehicles with pedestrian protection, (code U60) disconnect the battery. • Remove the underfloor paneling. • The following operation steps are the same for the left-hand and right-hand sides. • Disconnect the electrical connector for the bumper lamp. • Remove the lower expansion clip from the wheel well trim. • Lower the vehicle slightly. • Remove two more expansion clips. • Pull the wheel well trim back. • Unplug the electrical connector. • Disconnect the highlighted screw connections on the fender. • Lower the vehicle slightly more. • Remove the last four screws on the top. • Carefully remove the bumper from the four catch hooks. • Have an assistant pull the bumper forwards slightly. • At the same time, guide the bumper all the way out of the catch hooks. • Completely remove the bumper. • In principle, installation is performed in reverse order. • Readjust the gap dimension between engine hood and bumper using a feeler gauge. • If the entire front has been replaced, readjust the gap pattern. • Ensure that the gap dimensions are correct from the rear to the front. • Check the gap dimensions with a feeler gauge. • Mount the retaining rail. • This determines the final position of the bumper. • To adjust the retaining rail, only tighten the nuts enough that the rail can still be moved slightly. • Check that the retaining rail is positioned centrally. • Use the swage lines on the engine hood for orientation. • Check the height of the retaining rail at the three struts. • See the WIS document shown here for the dimensions. • Observe the correct measuring positions! • If the dimensions are not correct, insert 0.5 mm-thick adjusting shims. • Place the adjusting shims on the bolt as required. • Note: If you need more than two adjusting shims, longer bolts will be required. • Check the height of the retaining rail. • Tighten the nuts of the retaining rail. • Install the lower screws on the side. • Install the bumper. • Using a feeler gauge, adjust the gap dimension between the engine hood and bumper. • Evaluate the overall impression of the gap pattern. • The engine hood may not be higher than the bumper to prevent wind noises. • Perform the rest of the installation in reverse order. • =========================================================== • instagram: • / mbownersclub • twitter: • / mb_owners
