best way is to take off bumper and see what is not fitting correctly, then maybe ziptie it together

I had the same problem with my crappy plastic grille kit. All the tabs were fine. What I ended up doing was pulling a small piece of rope through the holes, and looping it back around to the front. Then, I pulled on the rope in the corners that werent fitting. It says on great now. I was also too lazy to remove the bumper.

1. take off bumper
2. try to snap it in place.
3. if step 2 no worky, drill a hole through grille and bumper while pushing grille in.
4. get paper clip.
5. straighten paper clip.
6. slide straightened paper clip through holes.
7. wrap paper clip back and twist together.
8. reinstall bumper

What year is your tC?

I bought a top grille off e-bay that was 05-08, thinking that 08 and 09 are the same.


The 09' had some tabs that the grille wasnt made for, I had to drimmel it to fit. Not a big deal but you might wana take a look at that... Not sure how the bottom ones fit though.


Just a thought.
