I also have a 2002. When I took my grill off, there were a few screws up top. There were also a couple of plastic clips on the bottom. I used a long screw driver to get to the clips on the bottom. It might lift/tilt out, but I unclipped it first. It is really easy though.

Note to all removing there grille for whatever reason..........
Dont do it in -24 plastic tends to be brittle then............(duh)

There are 4 clips on the bottom and you DONT pull up on them you pull straight out towards you , or when its -24 the grille shatters like fine china and you get to buy a new grille like Im going to do tomorrow!

Yeppers sure do, you need a screw driver or something to pry up and pop those 2 to 4 metal clips on the bottom hate to see it broke Ken. Maybe a member could send you a freebee?
