Rear quarter filler panel..

[keso151]

On our 2022 bronco sport I jackknifed a small trailer and cracked the passenger side filler panel. I have to remove that now. Has anybody done that or have a detailed removal process I can’t find anything online…

Welcome!

You can order the shop manuals for a reasonable price.

If you can point to the specific body/trim panel, I can confirm the procedure is in the manual before you buy it.

Thank you, but I don’t wanna buy the whole manual just to remove one tiny panel in the back. It’s the filler panel. that is below the side window and above the bumper cover on the quarter panel. Just need to know the process to remove it.

What panel exactly? Pictures please

By the taillight? Seems very involved. It looks to be a step in the complete bumper cover removal. You need to take off the taillights and the wheel trim if that one button connector holds it too. It does appear to be "under" the wheel trim layer.

If it is just the plastic wheel arch, there's only like 4 white clips like those @Glamdring70 pictured (looks like more though) and one 7 or 8mm screw holding it on. Other than that you should be able to rip it off and new one should install very easily.

I've had to partially mess with that wheel arch to remove rear bumper cover. Doing so neatly under the wheel arch is the hardest part.

I'm just not Sure what "filler panel" refers to

I guess it’s called the rear bumper and it’s next to the tail light below the window above the arch. It’s a little triangular piece of ABS plastic… number four in that picture on my 22 bronco sport

Gotcha. It removes with the rear bumper cover as one piece then you'll be able to remove it and replace. I couldn't find the video I used , but @Dude Posted this link in an old post

It's really not too bad, just be careful not to bend the wheel arch to much. After you get all the screws out the cover pops off relatively easily
