How to remove bumper plug?
Hey guys! My dealer installed some plugs in the bumper and painted them with touch-up paint before I took delivery back in august. Well obviously they didnt do a great job at painting since the plugs are starting to chip. I wanted to take them out to repaint them with some touch-up paint or purchase some plugs from bumperplugs. I thought it would easier then trying to paint them directly on the car. Anyone know how to remove these things? I tried putting some dental floss behind it and wiggled it back and forth, but they arent moving even a little bit. I asked the dealer if they used an adhesive to put them him, and they said they dont remember...GREAT! LOL
Any help would be great.
Thanks guys!

My guess is they are the type that when they go through the whole they expand. You'd need to get a flat head screw driver behind the head to compress the expansion and pull them out.
You could always drill them out and replace them with bumper plugs.
