After seeing Brian's rusty rear bumper on his Limited i started getting paraniod about my own
I decided to do a little rust preventative maintenance. I used a small pair of channel locks about 5" long to release the bumper pad clips. They are released by squeezing and pushing up at the same time. There was one clip that i couldn't reach with the channel locks, that i popped off with a long slot screw driver. I sanded off the minor surface rust, and brushed on few coats of primer to the exposed metal. The bumper pad will cover all of the primed areas. I'll let the primer dry overnight and then snap the pad back in place.
