This is quick and easy. All you need is a flat head screwdriver, an allen wrench/hex key, and about 15 minutes.


Step 1: Find and remove 6 plastic push-pins with a flathead screw driver. They are located here:



Step 2: Remove the weather stripping and pull back plastic piece. There will be a bolt to remove with an Allen wrench/hex key marked here:



Step 3: Pop the tabs holding the grill in place. Look at the back of your new grill to see the locations. The visible ones are marked here:




Step 4: After removing the old grill, pop the new grill into place and check the same tabs to make sure it is properly installed. Replace the hex bolt:



Step 5: Position the plastic cover back into place, and replace the 6 push-pins and the weather stripping:


You're all set. Here is the finished product on my vehicle:

Do the push-pins just lever upwards using the flat head screwdriver ? Did any of them break ?
Thank you
