This is a mechanical bumper mounting/locating guide. It fits behind the rear bumper skin at the vehicle-left rear corner, beneath/behind the left rear lamp area. Its job is to locate, support and retain the edge of the bumper cover so the bumper sits correctly against the rear quarter/bodywork.
It does not control an electrical system. Its purpose is mechanical alignment and retention of the bumper corner.
On this rear-view photograph, the car's vehicle-left / UK passenger-side rear corner appears on the right-hand side of the photograph. The bracket sits hidden behind the bumper edge beneath the rear lamp area.

Unsure? Before ordering, send us through eBay Messages:
✓ Photo of your existing component

We would rather verify the component before dispatch than have you dismantle the vehicle and discover the wrong part was ordered.
The bumper side guide provides a fixed locating and retaining point for the rear bumper cover. When the bumper is installed, the edge of the bumper engages with this guide so the corner is supported and aligned against the rear quarter panel and lamp area.
⚠ Uneven gap between bumper and rear quarter panel
⚠ Bumper edge repeatedly popping out of position
⚠ Movement or rattling from the bumper corner
⚠ Bumper clips will not remain securely engaged
⚠ Broken, cracked or distorted mounting tabs following impact
⚠ Poor bumper alignment after previous removal or body repair
When the part number is correct, an original factory-fit component preserves the mounting geometry, clip positions and moulded shape used on the vehicle when originally assembled.
Low-cost aftermarket alternatives can vary in moulding quality, material flexibility, clip engagement and dimensional tolerances. On a bumper guide, even a small dimensional difference can affect how neatly the bumper corner aligns with the body.
Buying a good used original component can also provide a substantial saving compared with purchasing a new replacement. The exact saving varies by component and current new-part retail price.
This is a used automotive component. Normal storage, removal and age-related marks may be present. Please inspect all actual item photographs before purchase, paying particular attention to mounting points, tabs, clips and overall shape.
Any detachable clips, screws, inserts or surrounding trim not visibly shown with the item should not be assumed to be included.
The following is a practical installation overview rather than manufacturer workshop data. Exact fastener types, quantities and torque settings can vary with vehicle specification, year and previous repairs.
1. Before dismantling, compare the replacement with your existing bracket and confirm 9683743080, side and mounting shape.
2. Park on level ground, secure the vehicle, switch the ignition off and protect adjacent painted edges with masking tape.
3. Open the luggage compartment and remove/access the rear lamp assemblies where necessary to expose bumper-retaining points.
4. Remove the accessible lower bumper fasteners.
5. Release the relevant rear wheel-arch clips/liner far enough to access the bumper-corner retaining fasteners.
6. Carefully remove the bumper-corner fixings and release the bumper from its side guides. Support the bumper rather than allowing its weight to hang from wiring.
7. If parking sensors, lighting or other bumper wiring is fitted, disconnect the relevant connectors before moving the bumper far from the car.
8. Remove the damaged left-rear guide beneath/behind the rear lamp area. Compare every locating point with the replacement before installation.
9. Install the replacement bracket. Avoid overtightening fasteners into plastic mounting points.
10. Re-engage the bumper edge with the guide and verify an even body gap before completing reassembly.
11. Reconnect any disconnected wiring and test lamps, parking sensors and other affected equipment before returning the vehicle to service.
• Metric socket and ratchet set
• Screwdrivers
• Plastic trim / panel-clip removal tools
• Panel-clip pliers where required
• Masking tape to protect painted edges
• Work gloves and eye protection
• A second person is recommended when removing/refitting the bumper
Exact fastener sizes should be confirmed on the vehicle before starting.
Planning estimate only: approximately 0.5–1.0 labour hour for an experienced technician where fasteners release normally. Allow approximately 1–2 hours for DIY installation depending on experience, tools and vehicle condition.
Formula: Garage labour estimate = hourly labour rate × time charged. Parts, VAT where applicable, diagnostic charges, seized fasteners and additional repairs are not included.
| Garage hourly rate | 0.5 hr | 0.75 hr | 1.0 hr |

| £80/hr | £40 | £60 | £80 |
| £100/hr | £50 | £75 | £100 |

Returned components should be securely packaged and returned in the condition received. Any deduction for diminished value will only be made where legally permitted and applicable.
Choosing a serviceable used automotive part gives an existing component another useful life rather than automatically replacing it with a newly manufactured part. Reuse can reduce demand for new raw materials, manufacturing, packaging and the premature disposal of usable vehicle components.
By buying from THEPARTPILOT you are also supporting an independent automotive parts business that recovers, identifies, stores and supplies thousands of components for vehicles already on the road. 🤝🚗🌍
If anything is uncertain, send the VIN and a clear photograph of the old part through eBay Messages and ask us to verify it first.
