So I did the engine deck lid letters but also the paint matched for the grill and under the grill. Was a pretty easy clean up that was worth the effort. Mine had what looked like wax under it. Also changed out the engine deck lid welting.
I will be also putting the early rain tray back on the car. More pics tomorrow. Attached thumbnail(s) |

The rubber push "retainer" that hold the grill down has a steel "one-way" ring embedded in it. You need to pinch the retainer at its base closest to the grill to break the steel ring - I use needlenose pliers. If you pinch it right, you can feel the steel ring break. Once it breaks, the retainer should come off fairly easily. In some cases, the steel is badly rusted and the rubber around it will break away. If this occurs, you'll be able see the steel ring that needs to be broken to remove the retainer.
PM me if you need further explanation. Sergio |
