Ok i know this has been covered before and I know all I should have to do is pull it but....

I cant.

A: How small are your fingers?? I cant get a purchase on it.
B: It still will not come out.

I tried: Putting a rope in the grill and back out another part of the grill, sitting infront of the car with both feet on the bumper pulling as hard as i could and nothing... im afraid thats the best i can do, any more forced (mechanical) and i will pull the bumper clean off. Im sure ive already "stretched" it as the bumper apears to sit further out now!:mad:

Any suggestions from people that had problems?
 
Can you get the top grill out? Can't remember if there is enough space for you to reach behind to the bottom grill to try pushing on it at the same time as pulling.

Only other thing would be to take the bumper off.

*Edit* Also, have you tried to pull on one side of the grill to start with, rather than the whole thing as one. Try popping one side out first.

I don't think there's enough space to fit your hand underneath because there's that big section in the middle.
 
Work from the edges of the grille using the same technique (rope in+out) top left, bottom left, top right, bottom right in that order.
 
If you remove the top one there is enough space to use your other hand to help you push it from inside while pulling.
