BYD Song PLUS Rear Bumper Lower Skid Plate Installation Guide

Safety Precautions

NEV Chassis Safety Red Line: The Song PLUS DM-i/EV has a high-voltage battery pack flat-mounted on the chassis. Never place the jack on the battery pack casing, plastic side skirts, exhaust pipe, or suspension arms. Any compression deformation of the battery casing may damage high-voltage insulation, resulting in expensive repairs not covered by warranty.

Correct Jack Points: Located on both sides of the chassis under the doors, near the front and rear wheels, marked with notched thick metal ridges—4 points in total. The jack saddle must fully engage the notch without slipping.

Installation Steps

Step 1: Lift the Vehicle

Park the vehicle on flat, hard ground. Engage the electronic parking brake and shift to P. Use a lift or jack to raise the vehicle to a suitable height for underbody and rear bumper area access.

Step 2: Confirm Mounting Position and Holes

The rear bumper lower skid plate installs beneath the rear bumper area. Before installation, place the plate in position for a test fit and confirm the screw holes align with factory mounting points.

Note: Some mounting positions may require removing rear wheel arch liners or lower rear bumper plastic clips to expose the factory mounting points.

Step 3: Remove Original Clips or Screws

Use a pry tool or appropriate tool to remove the original clips or screws needed for mounting the skid plate. It is recommended to keep the removed original clips and screws, as some may need to be reused.

Step 4: Install Mounting Brackets (If Equipped)

Some rear bumper lower skid plates come with extension brackets or clips. If equipped, install the brackets to the factory mounting points or designated positions first, ensuring they are securely fastened.

Step 5: Hand-Tighten All Screws (Do Not Fully Tighten)

Core Principle: Thread all screws first, do not tighten any of them. Once all screws are in place, tighten them uniformly. This ensures the skid plate holes align perfectly with the mounting points, preventing misalignment of other holes caused by tightening one screw too early.

Step 6: Tighten All Screws

After confirming all screws are threaded, tighten them one by one in a diagonal sequence. Apply even force, avoiding over-tightening that could strip threads or damage plastic clips.

Step 7: Inspection and Road Test

Lower the vehicle and check that the skid plate is securely installed with no looseness. Start the vehicle and drive at low speed to confirm there is no abnormal vibration or noise.

Important Notes

Rear bumper lower skid plate installation is relatively simple: Unlike removing the entire rear bumper, lower skid plate installation typically only requires handling clips and screws in the bottom area without removing the complete bumper assembly.

Plastic clips are fragile: Plastic clips may break during removal of original clips. Prepare spare clips in advance.

Professional installation recommended: Involving vehicle lifting and underbody work, it is recommended to complete the installation at a professional repair shop or 4S store.
