Hi all. I recently replaced my grille after being quoted a ton of cash for a literal 5 minute job. I decided I'd take a few pics for anyone that wants to do it and save some cash.

1. Push down on the 6 tabs in the red circles. I had to push the first one and keep a bit of pressure on it so it remained unclipped to get the rest.
2. The camera is towards the bottom. Carefully pull out the grille. I recommend putting some painters tape on the pain to keep from scratching it.
3. Unclip the 3 prongs holding the camera and carefully pull it out. They are a bit stiff so go slow. The grille should pop out now.
4. Make sure the camera doesn't hit anything or gets pulled off.
5. Put new grille back in.

Note: I have the night vision option and did not need to unhook anything for that.

Hope this helps. It took me about ~10 minutes between taking/retaking pics and examining what to unhook.

Also, get your dealer to match the lowest price you can find online for the parts. Mine did and I saved a little over $100 . for the grille.

Probably also a good trick to wash those slats clean. Thx for the tip.

I need to find the best place to buy the grille

Can you post a pic of what the grill looks like installed?
Also, do you have the part # you used?
