Here is the exact replacement bumper cover I bought on Amazon: amzn.to/2qOncbl, part number 68088967AA.
If that one is unavailable, this one SHOULD work but be sure to crosscheck part numbers: amzn.to/2xZo0gz.
Save hundreds of dollars by replacing your Town and Country bumper / bumper cover yourself. In this video, I'll walk you through each step and show you how easy it is.
OVERVIEW:
Step-by-step instructions on replacing a front bumper cover for 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Chrysler Town and Country minivan. The van used in this tutorial is a 2012 Town and Country Limited model. However, since the Dodge Caravan and Volkswagen Routan are very similar to the T&C, I'd guess that these instructions would apply for those models, too.
DETAILS:
After developing a crack in the front bumper cover on our 2012 Chrysler Town and Country minivan, we decided to replace it. I considering patching it, but I just didn’t think it would be worth the time and effort for a fix that may or may not work. Especially since I spent right at $180, including the paint job, for a brand new bumper cover.

I bought mine from the seller “MBI Auto,” and the service was fantastic. However, the price has gone up since my purchase. Still worth it though.
If you look elsewhere, search for Chrysler / MOPAR OEM part number: “68088967AA,” and verify that it will work on your exact vehicle.
Thanks to the folks at the ChryslerMinivan.net forums for text instructions that served as the guide for this project. While it wasn’t an exact how-to for my situation, it was the best kickstart I could find.

The most helpful instructions from that post:
“Removal is very straight forward:
- Remove the 5 plastic push pins that fix the bottom spoiler to the bottom part of the bumper
- You now have access to the fog-light wiring which just unclips
- Remove the 3 screws on each side within the wheel arches
- remove the 2 bolts at the top of the grill (under bonnet)
- You can now pull the sides outwards just in front of the wheel arches. They are hooked into a plastic holder. Once outwards far enough that whole side will come loose
- You can now access the tubes for the headlamp washers, which is a push-fit connector on each side
- Do the same on the other side and the whole bumper will come off
- The fog-lights are held in by 2 screws and will come out easily
- I had to swap the grill and chrome strips which are pushed it. It's a bit fiddly to get them out without breaking the clips but as the old bumper was scrap anyway I removed some of the bumper plastic around the clips so it was easy to undo the trim parts. They then just push back into the new bumper.”
