Seems like it should be an easy task, but not finding it so.
- Starting at the end point, Workshop Manual - page 501-08-6 - shows Gurney Flap attached with 5 screws. 4 are easy, but there is no access to the fifth (center) screw.
- Going back one step, manual calls for removal of "rear fascia grille" in order to gain access to that 5th screw.
- Rear fascia grille ( center grille with license plate mount in center ) is shown being attached with 8 screws - 4 across bottom; one on either side; and two on the top.
- Bottom and side screws are easy, and out, but can't see, feel, or otherwise get to the top screws. They are obviously there, as grille will pivot inward from the top, but there is a definite resistance. Where are they, and how do you get access to remove them?
- I am completely stymied!
- Don't see where taking more of the rear of the car off would help, and I certainly don't want to do that for 2 screws!
- Regarding earlier steps in the manual, they are not applicable as I have no muffler. Access to the rear fascia grille is completely open.
- Can anyone help me? ( Yes Dr. Frank, I know am an engineer, but whatever few skills are left are not cutting it on this problem.) Embarrassing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
