Hi all,
Brand new CX-5 owner here and tried to install an OEM rear bumper scuff plate/protector. Followed the instructions/provided template and didn't realize the template was off before it was too late. The plate is centered but crooked. I would just like to take it off and reposition it. Luckily I didn't follow the template for the door sill kick plates and used tape to mark where they were going.
Would the method to take off the scuff plate be similar to debadging your car? (ie heating up the plate with a heat gun or hair dryer and using dental floss to saw at the double sided tape and taking off the remaining double sided tape with dishwashing soap?) It seems like the plate is stuck onto the bumper via double sided sticky tape so it seems like the same method should work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
