Default mesh grill question ??

Does anyone know or have a way to remove and install the mesh grills from the outside of the car. I'd like to find a way to attach the grills (clip or interferance fit) without removing the vararam.

Suggestions and ideas are more than welcome.



Thanks..............

I think on the Z06 they are screwed into the fender from the inside.

They are screwed in, so you'll have to remove the Vararam to take them out. To put them back, however, you could just uae double sided tape.

If there is enough room for the front screens to fit with the Vararam installed, just use some heavy duty velcro to keep them on the car. That's how mine are attached and it allows me to install/remove them with ease.
