Katie Belton Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I was backing up my 2008 MKX in a parking garage when a cement support pillar jumped out behind me. My upper and lower rear bumper covers were both dented and scuffed. I have been looking online for a replacement and it seems like the bumper covers for edges are less expensive. My question: Would a bumper cover from an Edge fit my MKX? Also, does anyone know how to remove the rear bumper cover on a 2008 MKX? I saw some step by step instructions for the second generations, but nothing for first gen. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Bumper covers are not the same. 2007-2015 MKX has the license plate on the bumper while the 2007-2014 Edge on the rear hatch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Here is the procedure to remove the rear bumper cover for the MKX. (The Edge is similar). 1. Remove the scrivets from the rear bumper cover. 2. Remove the 10 screws (5 each side) from the rear splash shield. 3. Remove the rear bumper cover-to-body brace screw. 4. Disconnect the trailer hitch and parking aid system wiring harness, if equipped. 5. Disconnect the retainers from the rear bumper cover-to-body brace. 6. Remove the rear bumper cover. 7. Remove the bumper cover from the bumper cover bracket. Remove the bumper cover. 8. To install, reverse the removal procedure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
