While watching my MC travel through the automatic car wash this afternoon (I know, for shame, taking my MC through the auto-wash, but Hey, it's winter here in Wisconsin...LOL), I noticed that the metal mesh grille (the one set into the lower bumper/air dam area) is pushed inward, right in the center by something approximately 4 inches in diameter. I have no idea of where or how it happened, but do you think it would be possible for me to straighten it out myself, or will I need to have the part repaired/replaced somewhere? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

You can either use your own car's key (Very, very carefully) or a small flat head screwdriver to aid pulling the grill back over the tabs and into place.

 

I found an allen key works well too. You can fish the short end into the grille, hook it from behind, and then pull the grille forward onto the tab.

 

Actually, the grille is still firmly in place, it's just bent out of shape (kinda like I was when I saw it...lol).

Maybe you need a new one...
