VW Tiguan Front Bumper DIY Repair, Bumper Guide and Fender Flare Replacement incl Bumper Removal

[@ThunderMonkeySMOKE]

Good video, sir. I have to fix my tiguans entire front lower and possibly upper bumper covers and fender flare passenger. It is daunting but now feels poasible. Thank you!

The plastic wheel trim on my 2013 actually had its adhesive totally fail - just... stop being sticky, which is wild to me that they'd make detents in the car body which fit clips, which are then glued to the actual trim part - seems like it's unnecessarily complicated but maybe there's a good reason to do it that way. I ended up just duct taping it with this black gaff tape I have - it was meant to be a temporary measure but the tape has done such a good job through rain, snow, and heat that I might just keep it. On the same side, the bumper cover is also coming loose at that same connecting point and I suspect it's because the body work the car had done due to an accident prior to my ownership wasn't done correctly and its slowly come loose over the years. No clue what I'm gonna do about it because unless it's a potential safety hazard, I can't justify the cost to fix it. The amount of money I have spent on this car would have been enough for a better car. I would get a newer Tiguan in a heartbeat (well, it is kinda pricey on parts), but the rate of parts failures has my mechanic stumped and has me unable to save any money. Every 3 - 6 months for the past three years I'm coughing up 1k+ on a bunch of work it needs done... not even mentioning the peeling paint and resulting rust above the windshield that I just cannot afford to fix.

Nice job, doing work on the same VW in the video much worse hit for me but this was very helpful. Clear concise and easy to follow. Thank you 👍

Thanks! Helped me fix a nearly identical situation on the same year vehicle.

I am having almost the same damage. Where do you get these parts? This is my first time work on a VW.

I used eBay. Check the video description for part numbers & more info about the parts.
