  Q: How do you remove the front and rear bumper covers along with the side rocker panel on Nissan Sentra?

  A: To replace the front bumper cover, the following steps have to be followed; The radiator grille and the screws at the front edge of the inner Fender splash shield need to be removed. Detach the clamps and wrench and get rid of the engine undercover and, finally, draw the upper screws from the front bumper cover at the front fender. Pop the outboard edge of the front bumper fascia off the vehicle by pulling it away from the car to free the bumper side retainer and if fitted, the fog light harness connector. Subsequently, the front bumper cover and the fog light assembly if existent must be pulled off, after which the additional clips render the bumper energy absorber and radiator air guides detachable. Unlock at the lower edge with the retaining pins, unbolt the lower bolt and then the bumper reinforcement is separated from others, then the bumper side retainers are to be detached from the front fenders. To remove the side rocker panel one has to first remove the rear rocker cover bolts and the front rocker cover bolt and with the help of a thin triangular trim tool, pry the cover away from the body. Pry the rocker panel further from the body along the length of the gusset then finally, remove the rocker panel. To do that, retract the trunk lid, freeing it from its rubber boot, and pop the two clips that secure the trunk rear trim. I took off the taillight housings, the clips to pull off the rear fender protector, the upper clips and screws to let the rear bumper cover go. At the same time, on the rear bumper side retainer, one should apply force to push it outside, then unfasten the lower clips and screws in the rear bumper cover. Loosen the rear bumper upper retainer and slide the rear bumper cover backward from the car. Unscrew the energy absorbing plastic in the rear bumper reinforcement, detach it; unscrew the bolts and take off the rear bumper reinforcement. Last, but not the least, free the pawls from the rear bumper side retainer and pull it out on both the sides; the process of fitting is similar to the process of uninstalling the auto-part.
