How do I remove the lower front grill?
« on: June 04, 2018, 08:41:26 am »
I can get the main grill off no problems, but i'm really struggling to get the lower front grill out... apparently it pops off? But it feels way too flimsy for me to be pulling at it.

Anyone offer any help?

Yes it just pops off.

I found it handy to use a trim removal tool under the bumper, to aid the removal of the clips at the top of the grille. From there, you can just pull it out :happy2:

Is there a decent video guide or picture guide anywhere? I don't trust myself not to snap something haha!

it can be a bit tricky.

if you look through the grille you can see where the tabs click into the bumper, you can use a trim tool or if you dont have one a flathead screwdriver to push the top of each tab up a little so it can be pulled out much easier
