They are usually stuck on with double sided tape, a plastic one will flex more and come away easier than a metal one, careful use of a hot air gun/hairdryer to warm it will help, but chances are it's covering up damage and might damage the paint pulling it away, so you might want to get a new one that fits better.

 

Yeah as above -- most likely hiding some form of damage -- personally -- I'm not a fan of these protectors and take care when putting stuff in or taking out of boot but accidents do happen and I would get the bumper professionally repaired before I would fit one of those protection plates - just my view

 

I've also been considering the options to protect the top edge of the rear bumper ....
The bumper has been slightly marked with transferring goods in and out of the boot.

Ideally I would want a BLACK protector to blend with the black (plastic) bumper ...
I am considering using a black "carbon fibre" vinyl sticker that can be replaced when needed.
Can be trimmed to any shape to fit the curve of the bumper !!

 

I have a black carbon fibre one on mine,it’s been on a year now and still looks like new but it’s there just in case. It’s not moved or come unstuck but if it needs to come of,easy done. Mike.

 

Hi Bedford

Any photos available .... ??
Would like to have a peek at the carbon fibre application.

Thanks :wink:

 

It is possible to adjust the tailgate, and move up away from the bumper protector.

That looks very good! Is it specifically cut for the Mokka, or a universal fit?

 

Yes specifically cut for the Mokka of eBay lots off different types but I went for the cheaper option as with vinyl it’s easily removed if required.

 

I found this one on ebay:

What about the crystal clear vinyl you can buy it off of eBay, when I worked as a valeter we use to apply it to the bottom rear quarter panels for the stone chips off the front wheels. You can heat up very slightly to make it fit over the lip on the boot sill.
