I have an '05 tC and the upper stock grille will not stay in the tabs... I can push the corner back in to place but not even 5 minutes later it will pop back out.

I'm afraid to buy VRD grilles cause I'm not sure if there gonna stay put(like they're supposed to... any one else have or had this problem before??

Any suggestions on what I should do??

Thanks

I had the same problem with my stocker grill. The tabs just wore out I guess (on the grill, not the bumper)

bought VRD's and they hold in perfect.

 

Thats good to know lol
I might take it out and see if thats the problem..

 

ive noticed on mine the past few washes it feels a bit loose. I havent checked more into it though and wont have to since i have VRD's awainting to be installed!

 

i have a custom upper/lower badgeless grill and i mine does that. my stock one before was fine but iono...im just going to get double sided tape and put on the edges and tape the grill in.

 

I had that problem and ended up getting a new bumper. One of the tabs in the corner broke off so it would just fall off randomly.

 

Had the same problem yesterday my grill looked the same way and fell off, all the clips except one was broken, but I
gather it was from when I got my new OEM bumper and the body shop broke the clips transferring it to the new bumper.

here's mine, with a little push you can see more of a gap. same thing on the other side.



but....ill be replacing it this weekend with my newly painted flat black VRD grill...

 

i fixed mine and now its in pretty solid

and damn that flat black looks amazing

 

wow those look amazing, im a huge fan of flat black, i hope one day to get the money and i would paint my tc flat black, I am planning on getting a bike after school, and wanna find a flat black one lol

 

Hmmmmmm, those VRD Grilles look great! And Idk, my stock grilles still fit perfectly!

 

yea the flat black came out alot nicer than i thought it would. I sanded it pretty light, enough to get the gloss off of it, washed it and let it dry. painted it with 2 coats of $5 rattle can flat black. came out damn nice i think!

 

yes they did!

 

yeah they did cant wait to see them installed, i did my interior with a 5 dollar rattle can as well, walmart FTW!!

 

x2!
