how to remove my rear bumper

[nissaneric]

the metal corner pieces are loos on both side, look like the plastic pop things are broken. but I can seem to figure out how to get them off to replace or at least rig it up tight so they arent rattling. help!

Remove the bottom bolts on both sides, remove the mudflap bolts, remove the 6 (or fewer, some have likely fallen off by now) clips visible when opening the rear door.

Speaking from experience... it's a bitch. It shouldn't be but it is. Since it looks like you live in a salt state, have fun getting all those bolts holding the rear bumper cover off in one piece. I had to drill them ALL out and re-tap every single one.
