    Bit of a tip, once removed the first one, don't install it straight away like the video. Instead you can get your hand it the hole where the first grill was removed, unclip with one hand, and pull with the other.

    • @Vincent28281
      @Vincent28281 Год назад +10

      Correct, once one is removed. You have all the space to access the second grill

    Thanks. Just did mine. For anyone trying this, the video doesn’t really show just how much effort you need. It needs a considerable amount so don’t be shy once the clips are out (but also don’t break the bumper.

  • @manikdhingra1606
    @manikdhingra1606 3 года назад +13

    Dude thank you so much to show it in a right way!!! I mean your technique (to loosen the grill by getting the finger behind it) is spot on. All the other videos i saw they are basically pulling the grill really really hard. Which i was not comfortable with.

  • @arthatis
    @arthatis 3 года назад +28

    For anyone struggling with bending the clips but them not releasing, if you can get your finger right in the middle where its raised (like a little wedge) its a lot easier. I really struggled with the first grill (and broke a tab), then the second took me about a minute

  • @klummster88

    Thanks for the advice. I had to use this in combination with removing the bolts at the top of the bumper. Some of the clips just dod NOT want to cooperate. Very grateful for the help!

    @harsimrandhaliwal2073 3 года назад +8

    Jus did this to my 330e. It was difficult to get out but I used a tool that Home Depot gave me to open my paint cans and it was amazing. It was curved and it could pull the tabs. Definitely need two people.

  • @suhailjamil3909
    @suhailjamil3909 4 года назад +4

    This is great and yes beats opening the bolts and top part of bumper and stretching the plastic to fit your hand through. Plus alignment was always a problem that old fashioned way when putting the bumper back. Wow so easy I'll try it too...

    Warning: I reached behind the grille to pry the tabs up and there must be some kind of fibreglass material that I touched. I have microscopic cuts all over my hands after doing this. Definitely will wear gloves next time. It worked though!

    @Joshua-zr1oh 2 года назад +8

    Practically impossible to do this from the outside unless you have some kind of hook tool. Top tip...do not bend the entire plastic tab back to release it (they'll break), you need to push the flexible lug in the centre of tab keeping it straight as possible..you'll thank me later

  • @simonb6306
    @simonb6306 3 года назад

    Tape around the paint. The clips can pop out and scratch the paint. When putting the new one in lubrate then with something so next time it’s not so hard.

    I did mine using an even easier method. I carefully snapped 3 of the black fins on the grill to be removed and got my whole hand in making it even quicker.
    As long as you don't plan on reusing the originals it saves time and the skin on your hands.
