That was my first mod back on 2001 with my first Excursion. Took Ford 4 more years to figure out it looks better with the SD grill. ...then they went and killed it...

The clips come out just fine with a little upward pressure from the screwdriver, bodyshop had lost one, it had a new grill installed just recently, previous owner hit a deer, I had it all installed with three clips before I found the new clips wrapped in a small piece of plastic clear taped to the inside plastic wrapping, will pull it off and attach new clips when time allows, shouldn't take 10 minutes. It just looks so much more like a FORD. I have checked and found how to wiggle key to lock rear hatch, so now I can at least drive it and leave it in parking lot while shopping.

My hatch is the same way the power to it doesnt work i also have to wiggle the key ... I'm always spraying wd-40 in the door and hatch lock hole it works for now .. But i do have remote start and never have to use the
key to unlock the doors beside's the darn hatch ...

I bought a cheap after market all chrome grill like yours ... I've had it for 2years now it still looks really nice for a cheap one ...i thought i would be lucky if i got one winter out of it since i live in michigan and they salt when it snow's

Looks like I really suck at adding pictures through photobucket, what did I do wrong ? I followed everything I understood from a post here explaining how to do this from photo bucket.
I understood I could post pictures after 25 posts just like I have done on other vbulletin forums, but my page still says "YOU MAY NOT POST ATTACHMENTS"

I agree. I like the SD grille better. The Excursion grille looks like an Expedition.
