Help on removing top kidny grille

951's 330i · 11-21-2008, 01:25 PM

Hey guys, I got a problem with one of the top parts of the grille to my E90 330i. I can get 2 of 3 the screws off, but the third just keeps spinning. This also happened when i took of the OEM grille. Maybe the screw is stripped? I dont really know. Any ideas on how i can get it off? With the oem one...I had to resort to breaking it off ....

You may have broken the screw holder from the plastic part. This can happen if it's over tightened or unscrewed. You will need to pull it apart from the plastic portion that holds the screw which will damage the top brow part but is really the only way to get it off.
