Steps
Remove upper and lower clips
Protect the painted edges and remove the clips securing the upper grille cover. Remove the end screws and lower push clips, organizing each retainer by location.
Release and lift the cover
Disengage the cover from its upper pins and side clips. Support it across its width while lifting it away from the vehicle.
Align the cover for installation
Position the bumper cover on the upper pins and align both corners with their side guides. Press the edges into their clips without forcing misaligned tabs.
Secure and inspect
Reinstall the lower clips, end screws, and upper grille cover retainers. Check the panel gaps and make sure the cover is secure at both fenders.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
