Red face 1993 volvo 960; rear bumper removal

Hi!
I was trying to remove the rear bumper from my 960, 93 volvo.
I removed the six nuts that holds the bumper to the shock absorbers/like.
Then i slided it out, but it got caught on something.
Like that it has a stop.
But can't see where!
Any help on this?
Thank you.
Hector.

Ps. this thread was posted in the 960 section, but I did not get any response!
Maybe the 940 section have more viewers.
Hector.

there's a clip thing bolted to each fender that holds the sides of the plastic bumper cover, should be 2 flange bolts on the inside of the fender on each side. these bolts are accessed under the side floor panels on a wagon. not sure on a sedan.

parts diagram only shows 4 nut+bolts holding the metal bumper to the shock mounts, btw.

Same on the sedan: two bolts on each side hold the ends of the bumper... They are hard to see but they are there...

these side bolts are just behind the rear wheel well. again, on a wagon, pop the two rear side panels off the floor, on each side, you can see a pair of bolts, one above the other, with a plastic pin between them. I don't have a 7/9 sedan, so I can't tell you how to access it on them, but probably you remove the side carpet pieces or something.

ok, here's where they are on my 1992 740T wagon...

edit: man, I got to clean things out under there, hah hah

HI! HECTOR.
IS THE REAR BUMPER OF THE VOLVO 960 SEDAN, INTERCHANGEABLE WITH OTHER 940's?
SEDANS OR WAGON?
THANK YOU.
HECTOR.

there's two versions of the 960, the original, and the 95-97 updated version that later became the S90/V90.

The 7/9 bumpers will fit on a early 960 but they won't look right.

a '93 960 wagon bumper (thats bent, this car went to the wreckers)

Hi guys!
My 960 sedan does not looks like the pictures shown.
I really need pictures of a 960 sedan.
On my 960, on the driver side i have an electrical mount, (lots of wires).
On the passenger side, there is a metallic structure, cross bars hollow.
I can see thru it, but no screws or bolts.
Tomorrow i will use a potent flash light.
I must be missing something here.
Thank you.
Hector.

Not on my 960.
Thank you.
Hector.

well, you probably should post on the 960 forum then, as this is the 240/740/940 forum.

on the drivers side of a 740/940 is the power antenna stuff, also the wiring harness for the fuel level sender and in-tank fuel pump, and the tail light wiring. on the passenger side is sometimes an optional CD changer.

Whatever there is in the way, behind it there are still the two bolts per side for the bumper to attach.

Thank you lev.
To pierce: I did posted on the 960 section, but i don't think that there are too many 960 owners.
My post sat there for some time, and i never got one response.
Hector.
