All you have to do to remove them to install a different grill is to pull on them with a pair of pliers / side cutters or cut them off

It is a plastic insert. You can see the black plastic on top that is part of the insert in the picture. The lid screws on. My only complaint is the gasket on one of these I have did not last long, and I see no way to get a new gasket for the lid.

Hi, Amanda! I do not have the Ecoboost, but when I was researching, I came across many comments that said this bracket was NOT a good idea. Apparently, when installed, it blocks the airflow needed by the turbocharger. I am not a mechanic. I hope this helps. Good luck!!!

Just remove the two screws holding the metal buttplate in place, remove the metal plate, out the rubber plate in its place, and put both screws back in. Its a replacement.

Remove the round plastic covers with flathead screwdriver and unscrew the 2 screws. It will come off easy

You should have a fastener in the plastic container along with a patch kit. Use a coin to screw and unscrew it.

Pull the rubber off completely. On the plastic there are three tabs pull the top on then do each side

Take off the plastic pieces on top all of them and the tool will just screw on the top and come off. If this don't help you let me know I will send you a video of me taking mine apart.

near the top of the main vertical rails, grab the rounded triangular plastic part and turn until loose. it should continue to turn loosely. After that you can pull down on this same part and the vertical rail will come out of the top cap part.

Remove a plastic clip on each side in the back and it works like a charm. Squeeze them to remove them. Happy With cover

I had this problem and just decided to screw the cover, the tailpiece which is supposed up slide on is what you are referring to I assume. Mine would just fall off because it wasn't crimped properly. You can try using pliers to adjust the edges of both the cover and the base if its important to you.

Screw a screw into the center and once snug, pull it out. It may require a bit of muscle but it will come out. Use a large pair of pliers. Good luck

You can take the cold-shoe off with just a screw. I actually use mine without it, just grabbed some thick rubber washers from the hardware store and mount them to the top bar.

To install, place the bottom tabs into the factory mounting points in the lower bumper. Secure the upper grille using the provided fasteners by pushing them from the top of the bumper through the factory mounting points down through the tab openings of the grille. *Some vehicles may have a plastic factory grille insert that needs to be removed before installing the new grille. The plastic insert may be fastened with screws on top, which require tools to remove. Please feel free to call us with any questions or concerns.

You should be able to just take an Allen wrench to loosen up the screw and it should come off that way.

The two screws on the bottom. Remove them then slide the back cover up and pull off from the top

I only see two screws on the bottom. I assume you can unscrew them and the bottom will come off. Not sure about that as I have not tried to remove them.
