I have a 2007 Mazda 3 sedan. Does anyone have a write up on how to remove the rear bumper so I can switch out a broken bumper reflector. I was told that the bumper has to come off to change this part. Anyone ever do this?
 
Thanks

I don't know who told you that, Eric, but mine are just clipped in.  Easy 2min job.

Really?..... The dealer wanted $300 bucks in labor to replace the drivers side rear bumper reflector........ I hope we are talking about the same part.... He told me that the bumper had to be removed but if you did it I guess that is not the case. Any tricks or is it as easy as you say?  ThankS!

Just climb under there, find the clip and release it.  They release from one side and just get pulled out from the other.
That's how I did my side reflectors, but I've had the rears out too and w/a hitch installed.  No screws and no bumper removal should be necessary.
