How to remove the front grille.
« on: February 26, 2025, 03:37:03 AM »
I tried to remove the grille.
However, I tried to remove the top screw and pull the grille upwards, but it hit the hinge and would not pull out.
I tried to pull it out upwards because the lower claw of the grille is an insert.
In this case, is it safe to tilt the upper part of the grille forward?
Or do I have to remove the bonnet hinges?

Hi

I had the same problem. If you loosen the bonnet bolts attached to the crossmember, but not remove them, you can move the bonnet upwards just enough to get the grill out if I remember correctly.

Hello Peter

Thanks for the advice.
After all, the grill can't be easily removed.
I'll try it again the next time.
