Front Grill vibration

I haven't used my Stilo for 3 days and today got it out of the garage to use later on and on shutting the door the front grill rattled. The part it comes from is the black plastic part with the badge on. Does the badge screw in to hold this part on or is it held on inside bonnet?

Wonder if it solves itself once used as never noticed it before!

O' yea of little faith eh, you thought i had a lemon, your car wouldn't break! :p Well it has! ;)

I think the grill is held on with big fat black self taping screws, and some plastic clips, i wouldn't be suprised if a couple of the plastic clips have bust. I'd get the garage told, but be prepared to wait 3 weeks and then to drop the car off only to find they've not actually recieved the part but they've tried fixing it themselves! B)

I never siad mine would'nt have problems, I have a Punto too and am fully expecting the worst!

Its only the black part with the badge on that vibrates, on shuting either door. Checked it out and its fully secure, just vibrates against bumper when door is shut! Don't think its worth a trip to a dealer, who will probably snap something on it!

When you touch the black grill it is held in properly, but it just hits bottom of bumper if shook, anyone else have this?

Thanks

My main grill is fairly solid in place, i've noticed the little grills on the lower edge of the front of the bumper move about when i wash them, but they don't rattle!

This vibration only happens when the car is parked 1 inch from my garage door! Everywhere else it doesn't do it, must be something to do with being so close to the door.

So another problem solved. Just debating whether to make a fuss over the drivers door wind noise!
