the cover or the bumper itself? the cover has 2 nuts inside each rear quarter, you have to get them off from the inside, then there are lik9 more nuts going across the tail light panel near the hatch floor, then one bolt on the bottom of each end going up into the quarter and like 5 plastic screws in archors between the cover and the gas tank, if this is your problem remove the hatch floor carpet and insulation as well as the interior panels in the hatch and quarter areas, it's a a necesary step and you can see more of what you are dealing with

the bumper itsels had a couple of bolts in from the bottom and one or 2 from the top, wasn't too complicated
