front grill removal?

[Holidazed]

Does anyone here know how to remove the front grill on an 01 Pathfinder?

I tried tonight (in order to install mesh behind it) but it seemed like there are a ton of screws that are really hard to get to holding it on. is there a trick or proper way to do this?

please let me know if you have taken out your grill before or know how to do this. also anyone who has a diagram of this process from a Haynes or similar manual would be a great help.

thanks in advance!

[Qxxx4]

I already emailed you what im putting here but it might be useful to others. Note this was a 99 qx4 it may be totally different on the 01's

the grille is fairly simple to remove, I removed mine because I installed the mesh between the grille (ur lost arent you) the grille seperates into two pieces, I seated the mesh between the two pieces for a clean look with no zipties. The two pieces are bolted together via screws. I used to have a link to the complete removal of the grille but I have no idea where it is now!

Removing it is easy, theres 4 clips...2 on each side, you cant miss them their big. be careful taking them out you might break them if you arent. I used needlenose pliers and squeezed them while pulling the grille towards you, one at a time. Then in the center of the grille directly behind the infiniti logo theres a screw that needs to be loosened, the screw uses flathead screwdriver. This is the hardest part of the removal. I posted pics here...

thanks for the reply.

It seems the pathfinder grill is a little bit different than the QX4. On my pathfinder it appears that there are ther 5 clips plus a screw in each corner at the bottom...close to the headlights.

Can anyone else who has a pathfinder that has removed their front grill help me out with this or verift if there are screws to be removed or just the clips?Thanks!
