Reinstalling the front cover
I'm attempting to reinstall the front bumper cover on my '84, and can't get it that last 1/2 inch or so to get it over the reinforcement.
The cover is in place at the bottom and the openings are clear of the fog lamps. Is there some "weird trick" I'm missing?
TIA

Yeah its a little tricky. If no one else shows the FSM page i can in a few hours. But yes the top gets hooked at the same time as light assys. You dont think it will possibly fit but then it does.

Thanks, I'll try a more straight-on approach rather than the bottom first method.

And of course for installation it just says reverse procedure...I have a fiberglass bumper and it flexes enough to install. Im sure the urethane is even easier..

Mine pops on and off rather quickly and easily. I'm surprised you're having such a tough time with it.
