Default Foglight Grill came loose... how to re-attach?

Hey all...

Not sure when, but within the last week my foglight grill came loose.

Noticed it today...

We've had a lot of ice recently, and between driving over the "speed bump" style banks that the plows created, that may have caused my foglight grill to pop loose... since I likely grazed the ice with my front bumper...

I'm not sure how well it was attached to begin with...

Does anyone have any pics/tutorials on where I need to re-attach?

Is it just a matter of popping the frame back in?

Could something be broken?

Any pics/tutorials/pdfs and other suggestions are welcome...

Thanks!

if it's just the factory grill, it usually just pops into place, clicks in. Just grab the holes of the grille and pull it should click back into place as long as nothing is broken.

I have the stock fogs as well. There should be metal clips holding the foglight grill to the front bumper. Just make sure when you pop the foglight grill back in the metal clips are clipped on tight.

Hey all...

Just wanted to let you know that I fixed my problem...

I'll keep an eye on it the next few days just to make sure...

But basically, I took one of those clips/slots from a desktop computer that you remove when you are going to put a PCI card in...

The length / hook made it a great tool... and so I went into the corners of the grill and gave it a good tweak/yank until they were all lined up and popped back in!!

Thanks for the help.
