Anyone has the instructions to remove the front grill on 2014+ models? I am only able to find instructions for 2010-2013 model.

Thanks

Yeah I have seen that thread. No instructions as well. I don't want to attempt removal without detailed instructions

It looks like if you remove the top engine garnishes and front skid plate and air diffuser that fills the gap underneath everything becomes accessible to remove the grill. Pop that crap off and have a look, those pieces are easy to remove.

I was thinking to do that as well but at that point, it becomes easier just to get whole bumper off lol

I initially thought it is like the 10-13 models as it only requires removal of top two screws and rest are just tabs

I tried to find this out for my front camera install last month with no luck. Based on poking around, it seems like the grill is held to the bumper with a bunch of phillips head screws, but getting to them with the bumper in place would be very tricky as clearance is tight and there are a lot of them. It looked like the best move would be to just remove the bumper.

I am looking to take off the grill to install the front camera as well as I am not feeling comfortable to install it while the grill is intact. Looks like I will just take off the whole bumper and get done with it.
