Part of participating in the Brooklyn parking wars is having your front grill pushed in by some big SUV's rear bumper. As a result the lower tab's are broken & The grill falls out because there is no holding in the lower part.This also applies to the Headlight trim Bezels.
I found a solution. I screw Plastic license plate bolts in the lower mounting holes & slots in the front lower body panel with the bolt end facing up. I then file down what is left of the broken grill tabs on the bottom of the grill & then drill a hole that is a little bigger than 1/4 inch where the tab used to be. With the bolt end of the license plate fasteners facing up they go into the new holes & you have a good new mounting for your grill without having to get a new one.
Tomorrow I will do this on the broken part of my left hand headlight Bezel.Just had to pass this on.
