How to Remove the Grill on a 2002 Suzuki XL7

The purpose of the grille on your 2002 Suzuki XL7 is not just for aesthetics. It is also to keep debris away from the radiator. You may wish to remove the grille to replace it with a custom grille to improve the look of your vehicle, or you may have to remove it because of damage from an accident. In either case, it should take you less than an hour to do and only requires a few tools that you can get from any hardware store.

Instructions

1

Examine the grille from the front and find the three screws on the bottom of the front of the grille. Remove these screws with a 3/8-inch ratchet and socket.

2

Raise the hood and remove all four screws along the top of the grille. Grab the top of the grille and bring it toward you to reach behind the grill. Pry off the washers on the backside of the grille with a flat-head screwdriver.

3

Find the two plastic posts on the inside part of the grille. Twist them off with pliers and pull the grille off the front of the vehicle.
