Prado 150 grill removal

Hi

Trying to remove the grill from my Prado GXL to fit screens behidd it to the stop the larger insects. I have removed all the lugs from the top cover plus one each side the connect to the piece next to the lights.

I am having trouble removing the 4 lugs between the grill and the bumper bar below the grill. As well as that, I can't work out how to separate the grill from the piece of the bumber next to the lights. I can see it attached with tiny lugs under a rubber tube but think it might also be attached lower down between the bumper bar plastic near and the lights and the grill itself.

Is anyone able to post a step by step? I would appreciate assistance as I have spent ages trying to work out why it won't pop out.

Thanks but this doesn't solve the problems of the 150 grill being difficult to separate from the light surround

So from memory,

Remove top cover,
Remove two bracing straps from grill at radiator support with Phillips head,
Remove inside edges of weather seal on outside top of grill by gently stretching of their clips,
Remove one plastic clip per side on inside (under weather strip),
Use a small flat screwdriver to gently release the three or four clips from grill on each side,
Pull grill away from bumper at bottom & hey presto you're done

Have a look at my HID install guide for the 150, it shows how to remove the grill with lots of pretty pictures
