Jeep Liberty Bumper Cover Maintenance 101

The Jeep Liberty is one of the vehicles with the more modern look in Jeep's line-up. Its styling deviates from the classic rugged lines that its contemporaries still have. With the Liberty, you can say that it is more sophisticated and classy. We like to believe it is the Jeep for the executive. But despite that, the Jeep Liberty bumper cover provides a much-needed protection for your sports utility vehicle. Its bulk and shape can remind you of its Jeep predecessors that have endured countless challenges on and off the road. You do not have to worry because this panel can definitely do its job. You can be sure that it can take the bumps and hits if the occasion calls for it. However, you should also be caring enough to maintain it in a good condition. Here are some tips on how you can show the bumper some tender loving care for the task it is ready to take on for you.

  • Always include the bumper whenever you give your Jeep Liberty a car wash.

Giving your Jeep Liberty a good car wash is one of the essential things you can do to keep your vehicle look good and protected. Just like what you do to any other exterior panel, you start with rinsing the surface with clean water. This should push any dirt build-up that has accumulated on its surface. This will make it easier for you to remove it after. Next, proceed with scrubbing the surface. Get a wash mitt and soak it in your mixture of car shampoo and water. Give the bumper a gentle scrub and don't forget to soak the wash mitt again once in a while. After that, rinse the suds by hosing the bumper again with water. Last but not the least, get a clean cloth and wipe the panel dry. It should look fresh again after the car wash.

  • Practice the "wax in wax out" routine.

You can give your bumper an extra shine and protection by applying a light coat of wax. It is best to do so right after you wash the panel. Apply the wax carefully then buff it to a gloss.

Summary

  • Jeep Liberty or Jeep Cherokee was introduced to the market as a replacement for the Cherokee XJ. Whether you are aiming for a more finished and stylish look or just looking for a damaged bumper cover replacement, there are a lot of options available for you to choose from.  
  • Bumper covers are usually made of plastic or fiberglass. The main function of a bumper cover is to protect the bumper and to serve as a second layer of protection in case of a collision. 
  • A Jeep Liberty bumper cover replacement will usually cost you around $50 to $250.  It can be sold individually, in sets of two, or as a part of a whole kit. 

Jeep Liberty or Jeep Cherokee was introduced to the market as a replacement for the Cherokee XJ. Since then, it has become one of the most economical cars in the line-up. The Jeep Liberty has undergone many revamps and upgrades until it ceased production in 2012. 

If you own a Jeep Liberty, you might be looking for ways to spice up your vehicle’s aesthetics. Whether you are aiming for a more finished and stylish look or just looking for a damaged bumper cover replacement, there are a lot of options available for you to choose from.  

What are bumper covers?

Bumper covers are often confused for the bumper itself. To differentiate the two, the bumper cover refers to the external cover that protects your actual bumper. They are usually made of plastic or fiberglass. The main function of a bumper cover is to protect the bumper and to serve as a second layer of protection in case of a collision. Along with the front and rear bumpers, they help minimize and absorb the impact in case of a bumper collision occurs. 

A front bumper cover is usually placed right below the grille. Rear bumper covers are placed below the trunk just right where the actual metal bumper is installed. Their position also allows them to serve as protection for other external car parts such as the vehicle’s fenders and automotive lightings. 

There are lots of options to choose from when buying bumper covers. Just like bumpers, it is widely available in the market so choosing one for your Jeep Liberty may be a bit overwhelming. Make sure that you read up on them and consult your vehicle’s manual for any doubts. 

When should a bumper cover be replaced? 

Bumper covers are not as durable as your metal bumper. Since they are only designed to act as a cover for your vehicle’s bumper, they can only sustain low impact collisions. This makes them prone to cracks or dents. If your vehicle was recently involved in any type of collision, it is best to inspect your bumper cover and have it replaced right away. To help you decide, here are signs that would tell you that your bumper cover is in urgent need of replacement: 

Loosely fitted bumper cover

A loosely fit bumper cover means that the mounting tabs and clips are damaged. If you hear a knocking noise on the bumper area while driving over bumps, it may be a clear sign that your tabs and clips are damaged. Have it replaced right away. Delaying this will only heighten the risk of damaging the bumper itself. When this happens, you’ll end up shelling out more money. 

Cracked or dented bumper cover

This is the most obvious sign that your bumper cover needs replacement. Minor dents and cracks can be remedied by repair. However, it may damage the bumper cover’s structural integrity in the long run. 

Instead of paying for repairs, why not get a new one. It will not only ensure your bumper cover’s structural integrity but also give your vehicle a fresh, new look. 

Finding the right fit for your vehicle

A Jeep Liberty bumper cover replacement will usually cost you around $50 to $250.  It can be sold individually, in sets of two, or as a part of a whole kit. Make sure to consult your vehicle manual or talk to your trusted mechanic when looking for a bumper cover replacement. To ensure that you are getting the right fit, enter the correct year, make, and model of your vehicle in our search engine. 

One of the worst things that can happen to you on a road trip is seeing the temperature gauge hit the red mark and see vapor coming out from your hood. You try to push your Jeep a little more but it stalls. It can't take anymore, captain! Now, you are left with a stalled Jeep with a smoking grille. It takes a couple more minutes before you are able to pop the hood. Voila! You ran out of luck. The radiator leaked and there is not much coolant left in the system. This could have been avoided with proper maintenance. But since you are already at it, here are some tips on how to troubleshoot your Jeep Liberty radiator. Use these steps and avoid minor symptoms become a full-blown radiator problem.

Always keep a lookout on your temperature gauge when you are out driving.

The temperature gauge in your Jeep Liberty should be the first to tell you that something is wrong with your cooling system. Once the needle goes up a few notches more than its regular reading, then it is a sign that your radiator can be in trouble. Do not take any chances. Pull over, and let your Jeep take a rest. Let it cool down before you pop the hood and check for any radiator issues.

Check your radiator coolant level.

If your Jeep Liberty is quick to heat up, then it is possible that your coolant is going low. Go and check your coolant reservoir. A low level of coolant can mean a broken reservoir or leaks within your cooling system. Have it checked and perform necessary procedures.

Perform a pressure test on the cooling system and radiator cap.

You should perform a pressure test on both the cooling system and the radiator cap. The test will be able to tell if your core and pipes have leaks when subjected to pressure. This test can also be performed to check the integrity of the radiator cap. This test on the said components can spot potential issues that do not manifest when your engine is shut down and cool.

After a few days of attaching the bumper cover to the Jeep Liberty, the paint flaked off. How can this problem be avoided next time?

Proper preparation is important to remove the imperfections from the cover's surface and make the paint adhere better and longer. A 400-grit sandpaper can be used to hand sand the surface of the bumper cover and make it smoother. Rough areas can be filled with mixed body filler and hardener; they should be hand sanded once the body filler is hard enough to touch. The bumper should be cleaned using a damp rag. To prepare it for the paint, the bumper cover must be sprayed with an even coat of primer.

 

Are holes for tow hook, air, fog light, and turn signal light necessary when choosing a new Jeep Liberty bumper cover?

If the Jeep Liberty will be used for off-roading and for heavy duty tasks like towing, these holes and the tow hook provision should be considered when purchasing a new bumper cover. To achieve not only the practical but also the aesthetic functions of this add-on, go for a bumper cover that's designed to complement the Liberty's round headlamps, trapezoidal wheel openings, and seven-slot grille.

 

Is a CAPA-certified Jeep Liberty bumper cover better than units without such certification?

There's no assurance that a CAPA-certified Jeep Liberty bumper cover works better than units that don't have CAPA-quality seal. However, a bumper cover with the said certification has passed the organization's tests for product fit, materials, finish, coating and adhesive performance, paint adhesion, corrosion resistance, and weld integrity. There's also an assurance that the product is assembled in a factory that has been meticulously inspected by an independent testing laboratory, which determines if the factory and the manufacturing processes used have met the CAPA's quality standards.

Bumper Cover vs. Bumper: What’s the Difference?
Bumper Cover vs. Bumper: What’s the Difference?Decades ago, a bumper was a solid metal component affixed to the front of a vehicle. But nowadays, that’s not usually the case. While most people assume the bumper is the visible, front fascia of a modern car, it’s actually a hidden structure behind the bumper cover. Only a few
