Pontiac G6 Grille Installation
1) UPPER GRILLE INSTALLATION
1.1) Remove the upper grilles.
Each upper grille is held in place by 8 tabs. Using a playing card
and a flat-head screwdriver, carefully pry the chrome molding
away from the bumper in each of the 8 locations shown in Fig. 1
The inner grille is held in place by 4 tabs (1 on each side). Using
the screwdriver and playing card, carefully pry these free from
the bumper.
BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN REMOVING THE FACTORY
GRILLES FROM YOUR VEHICLE. THE PAINTED FINISH
OF YOUR VEHICLE IS EASILY DAMAGED, BUT IF
PROPER CARE IS TAKEN, YOU CAN EASILY REMOVE
THE GRILLES WITHOUT HARMING THE SURROUNDING
PORTIONS OF THE VEHICLE.

1.2) Remove radiator cover.
To gain the access necessary to install the upper grilles, you will
need to free the radiator cover that is held in place by four 10mm
bolts and six pop-top fasteners (locations pictured in Fig. 2).
Pop-top fasteners are removed by inserting a small flat head
screw driver in the slot, prying the inner section up, and then
pulling the fastener up (see Fig. 3).
