grille removal

[00a4]

does anyone know how to remove the grille?

You just need a flat head screw driver. You pop the hood and start depressing the little tabs holding it in. Eventually as you get them free it will start to pop out. You have to work it a little with your finger tips and the screw driver.

I used a flat head and cardboard. Just pop each tab and insert a piece of cardboard into each tab(so it doesnt lock back up). Then just push the grille from the inside.

I would suggest u get a honda haha, removing the grill is easy as hell, a lil kid can figure it out haha.


anyways as people said use a flat head, be patient.

it might be stuck if its old u just have to push really hard. ignore any popping cracking breaking sounds.

Not the best advice if you plan on using the grille again since the tabs are fairly easy to break. I like that cardboard idea and I wish I thought of that when I did mine. I think it would help if you did one on top and then the one below that and just moved across that way, if you do the top first and then the bottom it will probably be more of a challenge. Don't forget there are some on the sides also.

i juat got a bunch of flat head screw drivers and stuck each one behind a tab. once you et all the ones on the top it'll pull out. just make sure you collect all the screw drivers before you start the car ;)

Sounds good too but if you dont have enought flat heads just do what i did.
Use one screwdriver and a one old shoe box

Can anyone point out the clips that need unclipping?
I was strugglin :/ haha.

[never_enough]

they're at the top of every other vertical piece of the grill. they're about 2" wide. the top pops out then tips forward. you don't touch the ones on the bottom until you have to line it up for re-install.

Awesome thank you!
Is it hard to put back in? Or is it just, line it up and push it back in?

Be sure you have the hood release latch in position on the grill before closing the hood.

[TonyTone5390]

haha oh god. yeah good point. I don't know why I'm stressing so much over this.

Noob much?

I have removed the grill numerous times with out any tools. i push in the tabs with my fingers tilt the grill outward and pull it out.

Seriously... I just used like 5 flat heads lol

Just push them down and then push the grill out. Since it was the first time mine had ever come out, it made a lot of noise, but nothing broke.
