I just a railroad track and busted my engine protector and looks like the clip on the side but loose from the bumper... I don't want to have to replace the whole bumber
So you can easily get to the hood latch once the bumpers off right? 2018 Elantra SE hood just randomly wont open now. The pull handle inside the car still pulls the cable, and you can hear a noise under the hood when you pull the handle, but the hood just won't pop. And I need to know exactly what's going on before ordering either a latch assembly or cable. Thanks
Honestly I’m not sure, we didn’t have to mess with ours at this time. We could see it was right there behind the grill though. I wouldn’t order anything yet. Take your time and get the bumper off, do a visual and see what is going on. Sometimes you just need to adjust the locking mechanism. You might be able to reach up from the bottom and get to it. I think it’s only 3 bolts
Thank you bro! By far the best video I found for an actual detailed walkthrough ✌️ and yeah if anyone is having trouble pulling the ends off it definitely feels like it doesn't want to come loose. Like more than any car I've owned but just pull straight out like he said. Pops right off and went back on nice and smooth
out of all the videos I watched you were the only one that made it clear and simple. one guy had his video on fast forward. I thank you for posting this
@@chrisharris9195 Oh no 😂 Look I’m not trying to mock you but I’ve been doing Elantra’s for years ,, The headlights aren’t riveted to the bumper but the bumper headlight lip clicks into the lower headlight bracket ,, all you need is just keep the headlights bolted on but pull bumper hard ,, it will snap out
@@chrisharris9195 on what website? because I’m trying to order but I want it to get here safely and secure . Not seeing any good reviews except for on car parts.com and eBay
@@cdoberman1984 I had a buddy paint it for me. Got the paint code and went to automotive paint center in oriellys and got the right paint. $300 later and it’s all blended in
Thanks for posting this. I’ve had a after market grille for a year now and couldn’t find anything in how to remove the bumper. I was afraid if I started ripping on it I’d jack it up. Thanks for lookin out.
I have a steel cable that i wrap around it and the the other end to a sledge and then just swing it. Its the same principle as a slide hammer.
I tried that, I have a hell of a sledge. Just wasn’t working
A chain works the best I found out the links become like little pry bars that surround the whole thing
I’ll have to try that
Especially if you push and then pull because there's a c clip on the edge of the splines.
Indeed

Where did you find the replacement bumper? I ran into the same issue with my Elantra
I got mine online, it was like the first to pop up on Google. I got the unpainted one so it was cheaper
thank you bro. Bouta go put a mesh grille on and i couldn’t find a better vid but this explains good 👍.
Wanted to clean the ac condenser on my same car, that coils in your video that is the radiator right? So where is the ac condenser?
Guess my driver headlight isn't clipped in or broken. It stayed with the car when I pulled the bumper off.

I got mine online, sent it straight to my door
@@chrisharris9195 from what company?
What tools would I need? I’m kinda new to replacing car parts
Are there grill protectors for that model ?
Not sure, this was just a run around car. Didn’t ever look into it.
Honda antra
😂you could’ve disconnected the headlights from the bumper
Actually not, they are riveted to the bumper. So no. Try again

Honestly just picked the first one to pop up. Came in a box un-prepped and ready for paint. No issues on fitment, went right on.
Where do you take it to get painted, I need to order one.

No problem man, my wife hit a fox or coyote. It took me a bit before I wanted to get out and tackle this. I couldn't find nothing on it myself.
Merci! Sa va me permettre d'installer mes rocklight à l'intérieure et à L'extérieure de ma grille.
I don't know what you're saying but you're very welcome!
Thank you! It will allow me to install the rocklights inside and outside my grill.
Thank you so much!
Appreciate the vid, you saved the day.
Thank you I need to replace my radiator support and this helped tons!!
Glad it helped.
