Hello all!
Ok, so I installed my StarKey fog light kit last night (the LED GT style kit not the lower fogs - the ones that go into the upper grille). Putting the bumper back onto the car, I noticed that the front grille kept popping out. I re-adjusted the fogs and the bumper but the upper clips that hold the grille into the bumper keep letting go.
What happens is the clips of the upper portion of the grille don't hold and the grille keeps popping loose at the top of the nose. I re-checked everything and there is nothing really pushing against the grille from behind to cause this.
I actually noticed that the grille was kind of loose to begin with when I first picked the car up (I am the 2nd owner).
I think it's just a matter of those plastic clips being weak, I was thinking of trying to pry them up a little bit to see of they can hold any better, BUT I'm just worried that I may accidentally break one by doing so (as this has happened to me before on other cars).
I keep pushing the grille back into place and a few minutes later you can hear it pop loose and then it pops out just a little bit.
I know that the grille itself can literally be pulled out and pushed back in and that there is nothing really special holding it in. I just don't want to push it back in place and then have it come loose while driving.
Just to re-iterate, this issue was noticed PRIOR to my fog light install.
I'm mainly curious if anyone else has noticed their upper grille on their 2013's being somewhat loose
thanks guys!
