grill clips are frustrating the crap out of me!

[Sully]

Ok, so I got the truck done except for some bulbs, having my exhaust welded up in place, and the damn grill. Its on and screws are tight, but the lower corner keeps popping out of the clip. It doesnt seem to matter how loud it clicks, cause when I let go its going to pop back out. WTF? any thoughts or tricks?

One f mine broke and I used a zip tie until I can get a new grille ordered. Quick fix.........

how would a zip tie in the bottom corner be routed? Its right where the inner fender and grill meet.

just drill a .25" hole in the fender.

one of my buddys put a screw behind hes cornering light into the fender as a ghetto fix for a broken clip.

uhhhhhh no. Ive done way too much to make the truck right to drill holes for a temp fix.

I will take a closer look at possible routing for a zip tie tomorrow. If i want a good fix, am i replacing the grill and or the bottom thing it clips into?

You have to figure out which is not clipping, the grill or the filler piece.

anyone know of a way to screw the two together? That would work for me. Id just hate to put an un-necessary hole in my new fender. Im pissed I had to drill holes for the battery mount. Hmmmmm what about those plastic clip things commonly found on inerior pics that grab onto taps and make them clamp into holes?

I think the ziptie would be easier than what you are thinking of.
