Re-Attaching Front Bumper Wheel-Arch Trim

[snowjoke]

Not sure what the technical term for this part is, but it came off and I don't know how to re-attach it!

Notice how the two lower slots look like they have to be slid onto those metal things vertically, while the top one has to be slid on sideways. I don't see how you can do both at the same time!

Is there a trick?

Just a bit of lateral thinking here Snowy, but could the pieces on the wing pull out,be connected with the fairing and then pushed back in the wing ?

I would slot the two lower ones in then wiggle the top one into place...

Meant to also suggest that it might be worth warming the part up with hot water or a hair dryer to make it less brittle, whichever way you choose.

That's a great idea. I'll get my pliers and see if I can pull the metal bits out (tomorrow when it's light).

Yeah, tried that.... :) Trouble is, you can't move the top part to the side when the two lower one are in.

Does the top stud come out, if it does you can slot the stud in to the trim then engage the lower two and push the top one home
