step 4

Your new grille attaches to your factory grille shell using stainless steel screws. In most mounting locations, you will simply need to drill a hole through the plastic grille shell and secure the grille with a nut & bolt. In other locations, you will use custom hardware “tabs” to clamp onto the grille shell. It may be necessary to create space for the nut and bolt or mounting tab by removing some plastic with a Dremel® tool. It may not be easy to use a nut & bolt in certain locations. We have provided self-tapping screws to be used as needed – but you should try to use a nut & bolt wherever possible.

Place grille shell face down on table. Set new Rigid grille in place. Make sure it is centered on the grille shell and situated how you want it.

Examine the mounting tab locations. Note where the bolt and/or mounting tab will go in each location. Trim plastic from the area outside the mount location as needed.

Bend all of the grille mounting tabs inward or outward as needed to get them all �ush with the grille shell surface. If this is not done, your grille may be pulled out of the desired positioning when you start to tighten the screws.

Drill holes through grille shell at all standard nut and bolt mount locations. Insert and tighten all nuts and bolts.

Assemble four mounting tabs as shown below. Insert #8 x ¾” screws into holes in mounting tabs. Attach and tighten #8 nylon insert lock nuts. A second lock nut will go on each screw when the tab is mounted.

Install each assembled mounting tab into the four slotted grille “tabs” along the top. The thin plastic rib on the grille shell should be sandwiched between the tab and the grille.
