Ok guys

How do you get the water front grill out without breaking it? I know I saw a post with a picture of where the mounts are but I cant seem to find it. Only find painting and lighting.

1 clip on each side of the grill at the top, take a small blade flat screwdriver, and release the clips, and tilt the top out, then lift it out of the bottom retaining holes...takes about 2 minutes....

Ok thanks :)

Had them released but it would not move so I figured I missed something. Will try again tonight.

It tilts forward them comes out. You must remove the clips first. In order to do that get a small screwdriver or equivalent and if you look on the grill side of the clips there's a tab pointing forward that you must push down until it locks down. This unlocks the clips and allows the grille to tilt forward. It will still be snug though so moderate force may still be necessary.


...or you could drive up to Winnipeg and I'll do it for you

I replied in the duplicate post. Perhaps they could be merged...then this post may be deleted.

Mine didn't release easy. Also used a small flat head screwdriver but had to pry to the point I expected a clip to break. Still don't know why but after that it lifted out easy.
