Hi, I've got a loose side grille (Is that the correct term ?) The black plastic bits by the air intakes behind the passenger door. As I go over any bump it makes an annoying rattling sound. On looking at the drivers side grill there don't appear to be any mounting points of screws to hold it on, yet its on pretty firmly. Am I right in guessing its glued on ? Anyone had a similar experience or know how I can secure it (a bit reluctant to put superglue on my pride & joy!).

Cheers

My passenger one is loose at the bottom. I only notice when I wash it and it moves.

I can't see glue being a problem. I looked into getting a replacement - they're approaching £100 inc VAT. I decided to live with it!

Bolted from inside IIRC, long arms from the engine bay should reach it but might be easier from the wheelarch (wheel off and liner out).

Cheers,

mine came loose a little while ago, and i didn't think much of it, so carried on driving as normal. on a dual carriageway one day doing about 80mph, the think broke off and fell back into the air intake area. i had it bonded back on at the last service. my advice; get it fixed sooner rather than later!
