 F3T front grill removal
Anyone had a chance to remove the front grill in the F3T. I am thinking about doing some mods and thought it would be easier if the grill was removed. Hopefully it will be a few easily accessed screws and out it comes?

I did it a while back to clean the radiators after we followed a hay wagon. I think it was 4 screws.

That's what I was hoping. Will take a flashlight and look around for the fasteners and see if that gets them all.

Yep. only 4 screws, and it is easy to get on and off, I have done it a few times, amazing how many bugs etc get in there.
I put some LEDs in there and they provide a subtle light through the grill, I was hoping to paint the mesh behind the grill
blue as well, but patience isn't my strongest virtue  a lot of clips attached to plastic lugs to hold it on, I know for sure I
would break at least one hahaha

If you jack up the front about 7 inches you can sit in a armless office chair and remove them. The first time I was laying on the floor- Not great at 68?
The front fascia has 6 screws -4 in front and a push pin on bottom- 2 around the lower back sides that are a pain to get to?

Very easy, I removed mine at the 3000 mile service to clean and hose the radiators out. Was very clean, not bad all.

Very nice Doc! Mines a '16 F3T, but most likely it's the same.

I really like the new setup. Since the radiators are turned sideways they don't pick up as much stuff from the road and are easier to blow through with compressed air from the outside with the grill off. Good bit of engineering there, BRP!

F3T Grill Won't fit back into the body tabs
The grill comes off real easy. I put some LED lighting in the back of that area and I cannot get the grill top tabs into those 4 body panel slots to save my life. The screw holes line up just fine. But, with the tabs not in the slots there is a ton of light leakage coming through the top of the grill and the body panel. Has anyone else had this issue? Ive been working on putting this back together for the last few hours. I'm at a loss.
