Backed into a low obstruction, denting the rear bumper cover and knocking one of the lights loose. I want to remove the cover to pop the dent out and hopefully find a way to glue the light back in place.

I found a posting on this forum by NovaResource with instructions for removal of the 2002 Accent rear bumper cover. Similar instruction for the 2011 i30cw would be excellent.

Regarding the light, it appears that the bosses to screw the light in place have broken off too, so I was thinking about trying to glue it in place, or to glue some small wood blocks where the bosses broke off and screw into them. Any recommendations for which adhesive to try? What kind of plastic is the bumper cover made of?

Thanks

 

This is for the US Elantra Touring but it should be almost identical:


• After remove the rear combinati0n lamp.
• When prying with a flat-tip screwdriver, wrap it with protective tape, and apply protective tape around the related parts your hands.
• Put on gloves to protect your hands.
• Take care not bend or scratch the cover and other parts.

1.Loosen the rear bumper cover screws and clips.
2.Remove the rear bumper cover.
3.Installation is the reverse of removal.


• Replace any damage clips.
