The following steps need to be performed from underneath
the vehicle:
• Removethethree7mmscrewsholdingthefrontfascia
inside the radiator opening.
• Next,removethe7mmscrewsoneitherside(oneoneach
side). These are the screws holding the bottom of the
bumper cover - see picture.
Remove the two plastic push lock plastic fasteners holding the
radiator shroud to the bumper beam. Remove the two plastic
Christmas tree fasteners from each side of the radiator shroud.
Guide the side wings of the radiator shroud around the lower
brackets. Remove the shroud from the top side, pushing condenser rearward as necessary for clearance. If the
shroud does not clear the bumper during removal, it may be easier to free it from the under side of the vehicle.

Cut out the template, cutting along the outer short dashed
line only. Thoroughly clean the shroud to ensure adhesion of
tape for the next step. Place the cut template on the shroud as
shown, ensuring the line on the template matches up with the
crease on the shroud.
Secure the template in several places with tape. Use a center punch to mark the centers of the holes to be
drilled. You should have 19 center punch marks. It is important to make sure you do not remove the template
until all 19 holes are marked.
