Front Bumper Removal

[Iamcartmanxd]

This process will work for all models of the S series right? I'm looking at a 97 SC2 and I need to replace the front bumper. It's the same right?

@Iamcartmanxd The SC is slightly different.

Does anyone know if you need to disable the airbags before doing this? I think my Haynes repair manual says to do it.

[richpin06a]

@undertaker901 Always if in doubt disconnect the battery. The sensor for the air bag on this car is located inside and not on the bumper.

Well all your videos are awesome, It`s true what they say about sound and music for movies. It goes well for your videos also. Hey would those plastic ties work to fasten it back on or do I need to get new springs ?

[richpin06a]

@MrRaiders6769 You might be able to get away with cable ties.I just bought new ones from GetSaturnParts for $1.85 ea

[MrRaiders6769]

Great Video Rich !! Looked as if that was one of your earlier videos. BTW, I noticed when I got home today that my air dam was hanging. I took a look underneath and the springs were stretched out pretty far. I`m baffled how this happened because I do not recall hitting a parking curb or created any road kill. Any way I took it off. Is that a major thing that has to be put back on.  What is it`s main purpose. I`m guessing it`s for fuel efficiency.

@MrRaiders6769 Wow i look back at my early videos and can see how i have improved over the years.It is normal wear over time which stretches those springs.If you look at the front of the Saturn you can see there is no grill in front of the radiator for the air to come in.The air dam helps direct air for cooling of the engine.

Richpin - Many Thanks! This video guided me through replacing the bumper cover (and I've taken to calling it "fascia") on a '99 SL 1. Seriously could not have done it otherwise.

All this, just to replace the fucking license plate.

[thinshaw1]

remove the tire next time. Why not give yourself the room man?

[Mickeym1a2n3]

Thank "GOD" for people like you, cause the cost of car repair is so dang high, your a hero in my eyes!!!!!

[mefydversace]

Hey, whats that tool called?? The 1 where you used to remove the push-pins on the bumper??

[richpin06a]

@mefydversace That is called a panel remover .

[jchu210]

thanks for posting this. do you know  if this SL bumper will fit an 99 sc?

[richpin06a]

@jchu210 There are different

[jchu210]

@richpin06a I just hope that the removal of an SC2 bumper is similar? thank you

[brownsugar11C]

Thank you this is very helpful. I will keep looking for more help from you. Again Thank You

[danielfoofan]

Thanks for this video! Do you happen to know if this bumper is similar to a 2001 Saturn SL ?

[richpin06a]

@danielfoofan Yes it is similar

[richpin06a]

@bigo9990 Yes it is similar

[rkellyforums]

If I'm just replacing the facia, do I need to remove the headlights? Or can I slip the new facia underneath them?

[wcp61]

Thanks, just picked up a 96 with Front bumper damage. Your vid made the install easy. I agree ingore the stupid comment below, you vid was awesome. Cann you add some maintance vids for the 96 saturn.

[homba]

Please ignore the annoying comments. You can say fascia as many times as you want, just keep posting Saturn repair vids. You've saved me many hours of frustration and having to deal with the repair shop. THANKS!

[mazdarx7head]

why the FUCK do you keep saying "facia"?! It's annoying as balls!

[richpin06a]

Should i have only said it one time.
