I've searched everywhere an cannot find the info I need to remove the rear bumper and that metal trim above it (sits below the taillights)

I've remove all bolts and screws on the quarters/inside the hatch/ and inside the mid section of the bumper and this things does not give at all.

What am I missing?

 

Two more underneath the car, they match the two inside the trunk.

 

You talking about the screws?

Anyone mind forwarding me a visual aid?

Can't see to find a repair manual at stores or online for a 84-91 civic.

Found one for a CRX if anyone needs.

 

More of a cap or a nut, 12mm if I'm not mistaken and should be silvery/goldish in color. They face towards the front of the car. If you haven't found them inside the trunk area remove the plastic trim piece in the middle and move the carpet out of the way. You should see them pretty quickly. Once you see those, you'll know what to look for underneath.

 

Ok I see all this but the metal trim above the bumper will not remove. I'm checking the inside for any bolts and all bolts are removed. Even the lock mechanism.

 

you take tail lights out to get those bolts?

 

-Taillights and all following bolts are removed
-2 12mm bolts below the tail lights are removed
-Screws hold rear bumper on both sides of the rear wheel well are removed.
-Screw holding the locking mechanism is removed

= stumped and theres no EF manuals online or in stores atm.

 

 

Appreciate this.

I'm going to give it a second crack

 

You cannot remove that until you remove the bumper. Once you remove the bumper you'll see the bolts holding you back from removing the trim piece.

 

Look at the knowledge base on ef-honda.com there is a detailed explanation on how to remove the front and rear bumpers since ours take more work than the later models.
