Nice job, short and complete. And it saved me from breaking anything. Thank you.

Great video. Question: Do you have the part numbers for the bumper cover? Looking online it is somewhat difficult to find the exact part number that corresponds to my RAV4's trim (gloss black, similar to the finish on the trim in this video) since there is no description regarding the color/finish of the part

[@tsizzle]

Hello. Thanks for the great videos. I have a lower trim LE/XLE rav4 and want to swap out the center front air vent for a center front air vent that have the flow control adjusters on the higher trims rav4. Is this doable and how easy is it as a diy? Thanks.

[@shoptimewithdrew]

I have not tried this. I will have to look into it. I feel like it can be done.

Hello great video !! How do you remove the valance silver piece trim cover attached to the rear bumper? I need to pull it out but im afraid to break the plastic clips. Thanks in advance for any info 😊

[@shoptimewithdrew]

After the bumper is removed, there are 4 retainer push clips that need to be removed. Then, you can separate by pulling apart.

[@haopham510]

Hey how do you disconnect the sonar sensors do you pull it?

[@shoptimewithdrew]

Drivers' side there is a connector. Disconnect it, and the sensors will stay with the bumper.

Drew I got a question regarding 2024 Rav4 XLE hybrid. Is the rear bumper a whole one piece? Or multiple pieces?

[@shoptimewithdrew]

It comes as one piece, but there are two parts to the rear bumper. They come together.

[@johnadriantumarao1346]

@@shoptimewithdrew 2 parts you mean the black plastic bumper and the side panels near the wheel well?

[@shoptimewithdrew]

If your bumper is 2 different shades, then it has 2 parts that are hooked together. Then there is the fender flair trim.

[@or3o465]

Did you get the replacement bumper for this car? If you did can you send me the link for it

[@shoptimewithdrew]

No, I just removed it to add a hitch.

[@jadedparadise19]

I have a hitch installed. Do you think I'd have to remove the hitch before removing the rear bumper?

[@shoptimewithdrew]

If it is a factory hitch, then the bumber will come off without removing the hitch. If it is an aftermarket hitch, you may have to loosen the hardware to slide the bumper off.

Question: i have a 2020 XSE Rav4. I damaged only the area painted black. Can that part be separated from the bumper? Or is the entire bumper cover one piece? Thanks

[@shoptimewithdrew]

That painted part is part of the bumper skin.

[@Vini-Pizza]

@@shoptimewithdrew so the ENTIRE bumper skin needs to be replaced regardless of the color of the paint?

[@shoptimewithdrew]

Ya, it is part of the upper part of the bumper.

[@rafsunrahman]

What is the part called and how much does it cost (XSE trim). Would it be called Rear Bumper Guard Ctr on toyota parts website?

[@shoptimewithdrew]

Rear bumper skin.

[@leftcoastdrifter]

Would my rear be safe in your hands?

[@shoptimewithdrew]

Ha ha

[@aniciaflores]

How much did replacement cost

[@shoptimewithdrew]

Depends on location, but labor is probably around $200 to $250.
