Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and then reinstall the front grille. This is a 2005 Silverado, and it's pretty much the same for any '04 to '07 Silverado with this style headlights and grille. At 1A Auto, we sell a nice replacement grille if yours has been damaged. You will need a flat blade screwdriver. I'm going to show you this. The grille on this truck is in good shape so I just take it off and put it back on, just to show you how to do it.

Open up the hood by pulling the lever here. Reach under the center of the hood. You'll see a little lever right here. Push it towards the center of the truck and lift up. First, there are four clips. Just use a flat blade screwdriver and pry under, and get the center of the clip to come up. Okay, so you can see there's the center up. I'll just do that for the other three here. There are just four right across on the front of your radiator support here. You can either pull the centers right out or, sometimes, the whole clip comes out. Pull the centers up and out, and then the second part of the clip comes out. That's probably the easiest way. Now, there are six attaching points. There's one right back in here, one right here and then one under here. You just got to pull nice and firm. Put your fingers right in behind there. Give it a good, firm pull. Right up here, give a good pull. Grab right down here, and give a good pull, and on the other side, do the same thing. The whole grille comes right off.

You want to transfer your emblem over, there's two 10mm speed nuts, just remove those. Take your emblem off, put it on the new grille. You can see my old one's in good shape. I'm not going to replace it on this vehicle, but I'm just going to show you. Put it back carefully into place. Make sure that this part here goes underneath. There are guiding pins right up here and down at the bottom, guide you right into the right spots. I can see right here, so I'm going to clip that in. Clip that in, and it clips in nice and easy. On the outside, you might want to just push in, just a little bit, and right back on. I'm Going to take our top clips and just put the bottom part in first. Then, just follow up with the locking centers and you're all set.
