1. Place towels on a flat surface long ways for the bumper to rest

2. Remove the bumper cover(bumper) off of your vehicle and lay it on top of the towel, this will prevent you from sliding the bumper on the floor making scratch marks

3. heat up the surface where you are going to pop out for about 2-5mins till the surface is hot and easy to push back out using a blow dryer may take longer

4. after u push the surface out, soak the rag in the bucket of ice water then super cool the surface.

5. check the surface and it should be at least 90% back into place

6. install the cover back on car

Good luck!
