SERVICE INFORMATION
This bulletin provides detailed instructions to repair polyurethane and polypropylene bumper fascias. A polyurethane bumper can be distinguished from
a polypropylene bumper by using the following test:
cut a small piece of material from the end of the bumper fascia and hold it over the flame of a match or lighter until it ignites.
Polyurethane will burn with black smoke and have an odor.
Polypropylene will burn with little smoke and will not have an odor.
Alternate Test:
Sand an area near the damage with a 36 grit disc.
If the material sands cleanly, the bumper is polyurethane.
If the material melts or smears when sanded, it is polypropylene.
