ABSTRACT:
A rear bumper assembly for an automotive vehicle is provided, which includes a bumper bar, an energy absorbing mechanism, a bumper cover overlying the energy absorbing mechanism of the bumper bar, and a rigid extension panel secured to the vehicle body and positioned to present an abutting surface to a stop surface formed on the bumper cover at a position intermediate of a vertically extending part of the vehicle body and essentially coplanar with it to prevent contact between the bumper cover and the vertically extending portion of the vehicle body during impact-induced compression.
