Does anyone know the plastic yield point on a Vibe rear bumper?

Well I, for one, am not quite sure what you are referring to.

Maybe you're referring to the amount of force that the bumper can withstand before damage occurs ??? I don't know if I'd want to experiment with that value. It probably can only withstand 2-3mph. Not like the mandated 5mph steel bumpers from the mid 70's & beyond :o
