Title: installing the back grill
Post by: Slowwindow805 on June 28, 2021, 17:43:03

I am having a hard time trying to install the two flat grill pieces, the lower screw on the outside of each piece is where I'm stumped.  Just can't figure out how to get a screw into the darn thing let alone tighten it, any ideas

Tape idea comes very handy many times...

maybe I didn't ask the correct way. the bottom outside screw for the blacked out portion of the grill is no more than two inches from the bottom of the radiator, if I put my hand behind the grill area I can barley touch the hole with one finger.  There is no room for a screwdriver, the hood is in the way from the top and it is not accessible from the bottom as far as I can see.

Correct, I have not found a way to do this either, but without it works also fine.
I am also interested to know how others have solved this.

I am not 100% sure I understand your description but if I do, I recall removing these screws with angled screwdriver.   I have not reinstalled the grill yet but assume reverse of removal (with help of tape).

I think accessed through the grill fins.
