Removing RS Grille
Removing RS Grille
I was wondering what the easiest way to remove an 89 RS grille is??? I have gotten off the two screws in the middle but can't seem to get to the 2 top screws and the 2 bottom screws.
Any help would be great

I got under the car and coud see the bottom screw heads. i was wondering if i have to remove the bottom plastic pice to get to them or if there is an easier way. Also i still cant figure out how it get to the top screws. I removed the plastic piece just infront of the hood latch and can see the heads but cant figure out a way to get to them and get them out.
I removed the bottom plastiv piece and got to the bottom screws without a prob. But i cant get to the top screws from the bottom. The heads of the top screws are facing up so i cant get to them from the bottom. Is there another way i can get to them???

Thnx Spdfrk1990 for all your help... I ended up and soaked the screws with WD40 then used a pair of vise grips on the thread part of the screw and unscrewed it backwards (if that makes sense)... After that is was clear sailing... Got the new Z28 grille in, in just about 10 minutes...
Heres a pic of what it looks like now vs before (also notice the new clear side markers
)
