Hi all i am trying to refit the rear bumper on my 190e.

I never fitted the rear bumper before and am having great trouble.

The main problem i have is trying to align the 11 plastic rivets in the bumper to the corresponding holes.
Has anyone else done this before and if so how???
Many thanks, mark.

Actually you have 10 plastic half turn screws. Was this bumper from your own car or is it one that you have bought. there is a difference 09.88 on.
If you put in the two bolts (in boot) but leave lose, then use some round wedge pegs in the holes you can lever the bumper to line up the holes.
Nothing special.
