Steps
Remove the old grille
Open the hood and remove the screws across the grille's upper edge. Pull the grille straight forward and up from its locating tabs without levering against the headlamps.
Move the emblem to the replacement
Remove the emblem retainers from the replacement grille as needed, then transfer the emblem and secure its fasteners. Check that it is centered before installation.
Fit the new grille
Align the grille's locating tabs and headlamp bezel edges with the vehicle. Seat the grille evenly, then install all upper screws and tighten them snugly.
Check alignment
Close the hood slowly and inspect the grille gap along the hood and lamps. Reposition the panel if it sits unevenly or contacts adjacent trim.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
