Tom, The later model lower grill retainer's will require you to drill the center's out and the grill will be able to be removed. They are not like the earlier Vanagon's with the plastic / nylon insert and then a screw to attach the grill. The later model nylon expandable lower grill attachment inserts have to be replaced after drilling the pins / center's out . It's a one time use attatchment hardware item. RC
Subject: removing lower grill? Hi all: I have a 1987 vanagon westfalia and I'd like to remove the lower front grill. It has5 or so rectangular plastic "pins" that I don't know how to remove without breaking! Please help! Thanks, Tom |
