M7 Ultimate Grill Install Help Wanted

okay so i got everything removed, the top behind the grill fascia painted black, the top grill put on and am in the process of installing the middle one, it doesn't seem to fit in there very well and doesn't seem to want to like stay, as in it could easily be pulled out. what do i need to do to fix this? I'll post more about my car dilemas later in my other thread.

Thanks

Mike

You need to cut a small slot in the bumper for the tab on the grille. You also have to drill a hole for the middle bottom pin on the grille. The other two pins fit through the slots in the bumper.

the bottom one fit through the parts in the bumper too. Thanks btw for shipping me that AGS stuff the car works fine and is back in my hands... but not for long though because my mom decided she was going to run over my front bumper with her Tahoe a couple minutes ago.
