    So dense.

    maybe he is an hour away from the body shop?

    maybe there is a wait time at the body shop to take care of it?

    maybe he just doesn't want to deal with the body shop anymore?

    There is a reason he is asking here, rather than taking it out there.

    I have never taken the grille apart. But it can be removed via a series of clips in the back.

    Id check to see why its soo high first ..maybe the clips that hold it in were placed wrong?

    the grill is not adjustable.
    Try adjusting the rubber bumpers that contact the hood?
    we have those right?

    Does the hood look straight? Maybe it's pushed down in the middle? Or possibly the hood latch is down too far. Make sure the cross bar that holds the latch isn't bent as well. Grill has zero alignment as far as I know. It sits where it sits. So something else is going on
