Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and reinstall the front grille on this Toyota 4Runner. It's a really easy operation, actually. All you'll need is a small flat blade screwdriver.

The grille is held on by a series of clips: there's one here, one here, two more on the top, and then a few down at the bottom. What you want to do is go in from the side and then press down a little tab. You can see how you can go in right here with a small flat blade screwdriver. Here's the tab that you want to push. You want to do this seven times.

Push down on that tab and you pull out on the grille to release it. Push down on the little tab and the grille pulls out. Same thing here: look in, little tab, push down, comes out, and this one. The top of it is out now. Same thing with the lower ones: go in from the side, push down. This middle one you can come right in from the top. This is the easiest one to see if you want to know how they work. Middle one just push down right there.

Installing our replacement grill, you basically just put it in place and, watch these clips and make sure they all go in correctly. Going to have to slide the clips to the side a little bit.
