Park Light Anchors

[df2x4]

Vehicle in question is a '97 GMC Suburban. Please forgive me if this is a silly question, but I've accidentally stripped a few of the nylon anchors that the park light screws thread into and I'm wondering if there's an easy way to pop them in and out without removing the grille. I can't really see anything from the front. If I have to take the grille off again it's no problem but just figured I'd see if anyone had an easier method.

Just pull all the screws out of each parking light, once you do, you can reach through the hole and pop them out. They are basically an "X" pattern that pops into the grille, so you have to squeeze all the pieces together and push from the other side. It will slide out towards you.

Sorry, that's the best I can explain it.

Got it! Thanks for the tip, turns out I was just over-thinking it and that was exactly the info I needed. I appreciate it!

Lol, no worries. I've replaced my grille a couple times. I understand not wanting to just go at it, I don't know where you can get them if you ever broke one. Better to ask and find out for sure.

I believe that those are a 'dorman' part.

I actually got mine from LMC, part number 30-0815 if anyone's curious. A whopping 95 cents a piece though.
