Front Grill Removal- How?

Does anyone know how to remove the front grill? After removing the six clips from the top of the grill and bumper facia, I can't figure out how to remove the turn fasteners that hold the grill to the bumper facia.

Thanks in advance.

glw;
Thanks. The two square screws are what I was calling turn fasteners. What do you use to turn them?

Thanks again. I never noticed the thin slot before. I'll try a screw driver on it tomorrow.
BTW, That sensor behind the grill is the 'Ambient Sensor' that reads the outside temperatures on your Climate Control display.

You only need to turn them 1/8 of a turn, then the grill will move forward. I think that you can remove the Infiniti badge once you have the grill off.

I think you can turn either way. You just want to match up the shape of the square to line up with the square hole.

BTW, make sure that the garage or where ever you're working is fairly warm. What you're doing is twisting the shaft of that black plastic stud. In cold temperatures, it might snap off! [img]/w3timages/icons/frown.gif[/img]

I have a coupe and all you need do is reach in back of the grille and squeeze the two plastic tabs inward and the badge pops right out.

Re: Front Grill Removal- How?

If you are talking about the coupe, after removing the fasteners on top, there is a tab on each side of the upper portion of the grill that expands after it is pushed through the facia. The part that expands faces up and down, not side to side. If you squeeze it togother with some needle nose pliers and pull out it will come away from the facia. There are locking tabs on the bottom as well but are pretty easy to remove. I did it while the facia was of, which might have made it easier.
