| Lower grille loose The lower grill on my Superb has come loose, but I cannot work out how it should stay in place. The back of the opening in the bumper has teeth all the way round but when I push the grill onto these it just falls off. Should there be some clips or something that has gone missing?

| Briskodian | Re: Lower grille loose I hit a bird with mine and popped it out, its a right "B" to get back in, you have to pull it really hard all the way round and it will eventually pop back in, Hope that helps. BryanP |

| Re: Lower grille loose So I needed more determination! Maybe I wasn't brave enough to give it beans. I'll give that a go tonight. Thanks.

| Re: Lower grille loose Once you have it lined up with all the teeth, one final hard squeeze every couple of inches gives a little click, then the whole thing is in place firmly - until the next hard landing over the speed mountains we have round here. God only knows how Baker 21 gets away with it!

| Briskodian | Re: Lower grille loose By coincidence, I've just had the RH small lower grill out on my Superb - I needed to get at the towing eye in order to pull something out of a hole (off the road). It clips in as others have described - it helps if you clip the top in first. I didn't want to risk breaking the flimsy plastic latches, so I gave each one a smear of silicone grease (which won't wash off) before replacing it. It then snapped back into place very easily indeed. rotodiesel. |
