Your vehicle's bumper is a lot more than a nice-looking part on the rear of your vehicle. It supports you as you lean in to get items from the trunk, step onto it to reach things on your roof rack, or even use it as a bench to sit on when you're tailgating out of your Nissan. With all this activity, it's important that your bumper have a quality Bumper Step Pad to protect your bumper and give your Nissan a better look.
Your Nissan's Bumper Step Pad runs the length of the bumper. It protects the top of the bumper from scrapes, scratches, dings, and dents that may happen when loading and unloading the trunk of your Nissan. Additionally, if you use your bumper as a step to access a roof rack, the Bumper Step Pad helps protect your bumper and provide additional grip when stepping on it.
Your Nissan's Bumper Step Pad can get damaged or even wear out after awhile. A rear-end collision, the force from dropping a heavy object, or even long-term frequent use may all potentially damage your Bumper Step Pad. A worn-out Bumper Step Pad can have visible cracks, discoloration in certain spots or across the entire pad, appear warped, or be peeling away from the bumper.
Your Bumper Step Pad can be attached to the bumper using adhesive or clips. If you're replacing the Bumper Step Pad on your Nissan that's attached with clips, a flat screwdriver or crowbar should provide enough leverage to remove the old Bumper Step Pad. If your current Bumper Step Pad is attached using adhesive, apply heat using a heat gun to soften the adhesive and remove the old Bumper Step Pad. If you have to use heat to soften the adhesive, be aware that excessive heat may damage other parts of the bumper. When in doubt, visit your nearest authorized Nissan service center.
