Hi all,
I suffered a cracked front bumper when a truck dropped something in front of me on the highway.
I have ordered and received a painted replacement bumper and I’ve removed my existing bumper.
I’ve moved the two passenger through vents over. I’ve detached the lower grill and trim in one piece and the foam damper. It’s still attached by sensor wire to the upper grill. I’ve removed the cover plate that sits up top.
Where I’m stuck - it looks like a few small brackets along the top and the trim for the upper grill are attached by rivets, rather than screws or tabs.
Can anyone offer any guidance on rivet sizes, tools, and tips for attachment? I’ve never used rivets before.
Thanks!
