If you want to repair yourself, I would start by taking the bumper cover off, then slowly warming the dent area (front and back of the cover) with a heat gun (careful as you could easily scorch). Then pressing evenly from the backside outward. Once the dent is popped back, let cool, then inspect for finish damage that may require attention.
Else, go see a PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) tech who can affix a pull to the outside and try to draw it out.
if it is memory lets just say plastic try a blow dryer at the dent dont let it get to hot an than try to push it back out may just pop back out ...if fiberglass well Body shop here we come unless ya want to learn how
what year? if its older then its just 4 (on on each side) mounting bolts to the frame. if its newer its the same however there may be body screws to the fenders and any farings, also do not mess with it unless you disconnect battery/disable the airbags if its the front bumper and unplug license plate lights if its the back
These vans have a styrofoam bumper wrapped in semi-rigid plastic. When you dented the bumper you probably dented the styrofoam as well, so depending on how deep the dent is you may not be able to bring it back to normal.
The surest way to fix the dent would be to remove the bumper by unbolting it, then taking out the styrofoam and pushing out the dent.
you can heat the bumper heat gun ( you can rent one i think?)
this will soft the bumper so you push it out easily on the car
1. inside your trunk remove small back clips in trim panel 2. remove tail lamp four 8mm nut perside unplug wires 3. remove black clips under tail lamps ( flat head screwdriver to pull center of the clip up slowly then remove the hole clip) 4. three if the some clips are bottom if the bumper 5. three or four 10mm nuts in side the quarter panel on the right and left side 6.four s shape clips are top bumper that will pull loose 7. with some help slide bumper by pulling it off it 8. when you reinstall the bumper you may need to tape the strophereinforcement in place
If it isn't hurt too bad, put a heat light or heat gun to it for a few minutes, it might pop back out or if you can get up behind the damage, work it out with your hand while it is warm, wear gloves in case you get it too warm. About $650.00 painted and installed.
