Default Lower Outer Grill Issue

Has anyone had this problem? My lower outer grill has been pushed in. I’ve removed the lower splash shield and can get my hand on the grill from the backside but can’t get it to push back in place. Pulling from the front is equally as useless. Any tips on fixing this short of taking it to the dealer.

A smaller object like a bird or something may have hit it. The bumper covers on these newer cars aren't terribly hard to take off. Taking the bumper cover off well give you a lot more access.

Exact same thing happened to me after I hit some debris on the highway. Ended up taking it to the dealer and they had to take off the bumper as mentioned above.

Did they charge you for this? If removing the bumper is required taking it to the dealer might be a better option if it's covered under CPO warranty.

I'd expect they'd charge since it's not defect related.

OK thank you. I'll swing by the dealer and get an estimate.
