I want to get underneath to spalsh a bit of waxoil about as I have some rust blisters with out broken paint so must be comming from behind, Oh Oh! Had a great start broke wiper nut cover in half and thought Oh Oh...again! cheers. :roll:

There's about 2 or 3 spring clips on the inside along the top of the grill.

Just prise the grills off carefully with a wide screw driver under the top edge.

Hi Mash

Thank you, went steady and got em off intact. Plastic clips top and three metal spring clips below, little rectangle shapes in moulding give clue were to lever. thanks again ;)

The correct way is to push the trim down so that the metal clips are compressed and then lift the top out. This avoids scratching the paint with the metal clips.
