It will be necessary to remove vehicle grille to install upper mounting brackets. To remove grille,
open hood and first remove plastic panel on top of grille. Use a door panel removal tool or a flat
screwdriver to remove center pins of plastic rivets that hold panel in place and lift away panel. The
grille can then be easily removed by using a Phillips screwdriver to release (4) plastic grille fasteners
and a 10mm socket wrench to remove center bolt near the hood latch (Figure 3). The outer ends of
grille are snapped in place with metal clips and can be removed by carefully pulling grille until snaps
release.
