Help. I'm currently trying to remove my rear bumper on my 97 850. (and it's cold in New England today) I removed the two long bolts that hold the aluminum main bumper frame to the passenger and driver side frame rails. The entire bumper assempbly seems to be loose. The only thing I see holding it are three pop rivets by each rear wheel well which connect the bumper trim to the rear wheel plastic lining. Does any one know if there is anything else I need to disconnect to remove the entire rear bumper/cover as one assembly. I obviously don't to rip anything off. Thanks

    Figured it out myself. There is a single clip on each side that hold the sides of the bumper cover to each side of the car. On my wagon the drivers side slip was accessable from the inside of the back of the wagon after you took out the divers side floor panel next to the spare tire compartment. On the passenger side the nut was accessable from the under side of the car after scaping away some road dirt to uncover it.

    I seem to remember a 10-12mm bolt, about half way between the rear wheel and the back of the car, holding the bumper to the fender. But that was a 1994/5.
