Hello,
So unfortunately my rear bumper has become detached on the right side. There is a rectangular clip that holds the bumper panel to the body and the plastic is so brittle it just snapped to bits. I think that rectangular piece is easy to replace, however, the piece that it attaches to does not seem to be.
On the inside of the bumper, there is a triangular-framed plastic piece that is normally fused to the bumper on the 300e. It appears that the one on my 500e is not fused but rather held in place via two small screws(?) on the top and bottom. I cannot find this piece at the scrap yard or online and the dealership does not have a part number.
Matter of fact, it does not show up on the diagrams that the dealer shop possesses.
If someone knows what I am talking about, please chime in, I have my bumper jury rigged with some wiring and duct tape!
I would like to get a proper part replacement asap so I don't have to do some kind of second rate, cement/glue job...
