My two Grills popped out today, and its like impossible to out em back on.
Anyone know how I can put them back on? Will the dealership do it?

if you were just driving along and they poped out the dealership should do it for free, try to get them to do it for free, if not you can take the bumper off and pop them back in pretty easily

You dont have to remove the bumper to put the grills in. The top is actually screws and snapped in, so the screws would have to be gone for it t come out.

How did both of them just "pop out" ?

actually the only screws i believe on the top part for the chrome lining around the grill. its just basically clips. my bottom one popped out after i lightly tapped someone with my front license plate. and yes i made my own front mount thats why it happened.

What are the chances of both "popping out" at the same time...

im pretty sure you could pop the top one back but the bottom one might require bumper removal. Dont worry its not too hard.

the bottom definately doesn't require bumper removal. If anything, the top one would because there's less room.

Easy fix, just jack the car up, move the black weather guard out of the way, then reach up with one hand and just press it towards the front of the car. You'll want to use the other hand to kinda hold the bumper in place.

Look at the grills, you'll see little slots where the clips are supposed to snap in. Be mindful of that and you should be fine.

I've had my bottom grill fall out like 10 times on me b/c my front lip is cracked from running something over.

Also, I just got done re-painting my grills yesterday, so I would definately know.
