I can't get the Air Guide off - I had to drill out 2 of the screws holding it on, so that's freed up now, but i can't see these 4 pop rivets also holding it on, let alone get them out

Anybody help please !?

 

Jo get yourself a glove, wooly or something and they are on the front edge of the guide, feel along the top and you will find them IIRC 4, use either a trim tool or a blunt knife/screwdriver and get it under the edge of one and pop it up, then repeat for the rest. Should be easier for you with having small girlie hands.

 

Thanks Ade, I've been feeling along the whole thing and I just can't find anything :s

Do you have a photo?

 

it's also a mare getting the guide out once you've got those pops out, you need to keep it bent in half almost (lengthways not widthways!). The v shape of it helps with this.

 

So if I'm looking at the car, from the front, the pop outs are gone so the guide is loose at the top.

Its obviously fixed somewhere along the front of the guide, but I just can't locate them - even sticking my fingers all the way down the gap to the metal.

 

Just feel all the way round it at the front, you should find them. Dont have a pic sorry.

 

it goes down in a v shape then back up and the pops are right near the front bumper. You can see them, just, at an extreme angle

 

Did you fold the top of the guide back under the metal bar (x-brace?) ?

 

erm not sure what you mean, it came out the top in front the rad. you need to fold it more, along the crease, then tilt it sideways and out it comes.

 

Aha Kelk has located them - they are a bitch to get to !
