Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

In getting help to de-snorkle yesterday, I ran across a smart fellow (I won't post name, because I don't know if he minds) that explained to me a different way to remove the grill.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

A little super glue and touch up paint fixed it.

POST 1Original post

In getting help to de-snorkle yesterday, I ran across a smart fellow (I won't post name, because I don't know if he minds) that explained to me a different way to remove the grill. Instead of removing the grill like everybody has so far, with the four fasteners, you can remove the painted part (fins) first from the black plastic backing the has the four fasteners. This gives you unrestricted access to these four fasteners and involves no big flexing. From an engineers stand point, this seems to make a lot of sense. I doubt engineers expected techs to bend the hell out of the that grill like everybody else has, risking the damage of parts. For those that have done it already, you know once you have the grill out, you can separate it from it's black plastic backing by disengaging four plastic snaps. He tells me you can undo these snaps first, while the grill is on the car, again giving you access to the snaps some have struggled (and broken in some cases) to remove. I ran out of daylight and postponed the job for Monday. So I started to try it and decided to wait. Does that make sense to those that have done the job already?

POST 2Original post

This has been discussed, and done, before. The danger in that method is snapping the grill pieces. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't. Just an FYI.

POST 3Original post

I tried it and broke a fin. A little super glue and touch up paint fixed it.

POST 5Original post

The truth... Porsches for Ed, please tell me what to do. I don't want to super glue sht.Step by step, whay should I do. AWE comes next week, then the flash. I've got all the tools, hook me up.:cheers:

POST 6Original post

Thanks to all those that offered help. I did get it done the first way. I was braver the second time around to pull up harder to undo the last pin (bottom). I figured the whole pin would come out (like it happened to some) before I would break anything.

POST 7Original post

I agree the traditional method is better but read the directions very carefully.
