These Escapes aren't the easiest to work on, and there are a lot of critical items accessible by removing the front bumper cover. As for the removal, there aren't a lot of comprehensive step by step videos out there to do this, so we thought we'd make one.

Reasons to remove the front bumper include (but aren't limited to):
- Accessing fog lights
- Accessing radiator
- Accessing horn
- Replacing Headlights
- Accessing wiper fluid tank and pump
- more...

NOTES:
- Pay attention to the tips for reinstalling the bumper.
- Those white clips for the wheel well moldings break easily (know from experience)... go slow with your trim tools and save as many as you can.
- If you need more white fender molding clips or materials, see our storefront link: https://www.amazon.com/shop/howtoesca...
