    Yeah, they can be tough... Try sliding a socket over the post and push them all of the way down while holding the garnish tight against the grill.

    I'm guessing they are. Look at all the various used grilles for sale with ''one broken tab'' or ''tab broken yet glued''. The tabs on mine were tight, really tight.

    Mines loose, I'm wondering if that's why I'm getting TSS issues.... Also, how would one remove those suckers?

    Guess I'll start by snugging them up. If that doesn't work to fix the intermittent TSS issues I'll try slapping a piece of plastic in front of it like some folks have done.

    Just back from ACE w/ the above mentioned 1/4” “push nuts”. Did yours slide all the way on? I cannot get mine to slip on that far, seems to do the trick, but would be much more satisfying if they went all the way on to the plastic nub. Thanks.

    Did you try pushing them on with a deep well socket? That should do the trick.

    The video is just an example, and one of the ways to show how to Install them by pushing them on. Like mentioned you can use a deep 1/4” drive socket with a nut driver. You don’t need to buy the tool.

    The socket and nut driver will work better.

    Make sure you reinstalled the two plastic push pins that attach the grille to the headlights when you reinstalled the grille.

    Not initially but responded to their email. The order went from "on hold" to "processing" after that. That was Friday. Emailed them. Wonder if there is a shortage on the parts now or stoppage. I'll see what there response is tomorrow.
