For those who removed the front grill

Once you get the four plastic clips off the top, how do you remove the clips from behind the grill off the bumper?

Thanx,
Chris

Hey Chris...
Just finished doing my grill re&re.
1.
Right in the top corners, there are two twist clips.
They're hard to see; look from the front though the top slot. (fashlight will help)

The clips have a square head shape ;
with a slot screwdriver turn the clip 45° & pull the top of the grill towards you.
The square head will pass though a hole as the grill moves forward.

2. along the bottom there are large flat clips that mount the grill to the bumper.
reach inside & push out on them while pulling the grill forward.
The grill will pop out.
Go easy, its easy to snap them.

If you have problems with these clips, (like I did), try using a flat-head screwdriver. Stick it under the clip, and gently lift up. You will hear a click, as the tab unlocks. Do that to each clip, and the grill will pop out easily.
