There are 2 screws located behind the rear wheel on both side. (Phillips screws)
There are also 2 screws located under the rear door.
And the bottom of the bumper is held on using push in plastic clips. Unless you want to purchase new clips I would suggest purchasing a door clip removal tool.
Once the screws and the 4 clips are removed from under the cover it will slide outwards from the rear.
Thanks, Dorrian

2002 Cadillac Escalade I want to remove only the bumper cover to get to the license plate assembly so i can remove and add new ones.

To remove the bumper cover on a 2002 Cadillac Escalade to access the license plate assembly, you'll need some basic tools and follow these steps:
**Note:** Be sure to take necessary safety precautions, and if you're uncomfortable doing this yourself, consider consulting a professional mechanic.
1. **Gather Tools and Materials:**
- Screwdrivers
- Socket set
- Pliers
- Trim removal tool (or flathead screwdriver)
2. **Raise the Vehicle:**
- For easier access, you can raise the front end of your vehicle using a jack and support it with jack stands.
3. **Remove the Wheel Well Liners (Optional):**
- Depending on your vehicle and access, you may need to remove the wheel well liners to reach the bumper attachment points. These are typically held in place with plastic clips or screws.
4. **Remove Retaining Clips and Screws:**
- Locate and remove the screws, clips, or fasteners holding the bumper cover in place. These are typically found along the top and sides of the bumper.
- Use a trim removal tool or a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry out the clips.
5. **Disconnect Fog Lights (if applicable):**
- If your vehicle has fog lights integrated into the bumper cover, disconnect the wiring harnesses.
6. **Detach the Bumper Cover:**
- Carefully start detaching the bumper cover from the vehicle by gently pulling it away. Work your way around the bumper to release the clips or fasteners.
7. **Remove the License Plate Assembly:**
- Once the bumper cover is loosened, you should have access to the license plate assembly.
- Remove the screws or fasteners securing the license plate assembly, and detach it from the bumper cover.
8. **Install the New License Plate Assembly:**
- Attach the new license plate assembly to the bumper cover, using the same screw holes or fasteners.
9. **Reattach the Bumper Cover:**
- Align the bumper cover properly, and carefully push it back into place, making sure it clips securely.
10. **Reattach Retaining Clips and Screws:**
- Put back the screws and retaining clips in their respective locations along the top and sides of the bumper cover.
11. **Reconnect Fog Lights (if applicable):**
- Reconnect the wiring harnesses for the fog lights.
12. **Reinstall Wheel Well Liners (if removed):**
- If you removed the wheel well liners, reinstall them and secure them with the clips or screws.
13. **Lower the Vehicle:**
- Carefully lower your vehicle from the jack stands if you raised it.
Remember to take your time, work carefully, and document the disassembly process if necessary. If you're unsure about any step, it's always a good idea to consult your vehicle's repair manual or seek professional assistance.

I am trying to find out how to remove the rear interior tail gate panel of a 2009 Mazda 5

The tailgate panel is held in by what we call "Christmas tree" retainers. Any screws would be under small round plugs, remove them and screws.

Removing rear bumper cover for 2007 uplander

Lift the tail gate. There are clips or screws along the top edge. Remove this. The clips all you do is pull the center pin with a panel tool or pliers then the rest will come out. Then you will need to remove the clips holding the rear side of each of the back wheel wells in. Under that will be more clips, screws or bolts that hold the side edges of the bumper cover on.

I want to remove the composite rear bumper from my 2004 nissan

Push clips, or used to refer to them as christmas tree clips. Try getting a pair of side cutters under it but don't squeeze too much on handle or you'll cut the head off, but if you do, any parts store has more. Then pry up & out with side cutters. Parts stores also have a tool specifically for them, shaped like a fork with 2 prongs.

2002 Ford F-150 drivers rear view mirror

The door pane is held on for the most part by plastic christmas tree shaped clips all along the door's edge, a plastic putty knife works ok to release them but there is a special tool, there are about 10 of then and they can be a bugger to release the first time. Be very careful not to damage the door panel they are very expensive.
