    Hoping someone might have some advice regarding the upper grill. I have a 2020 and I pulled the upper grill off to replace the insert with one from a 2019 or earlier (replaced the two chrome bars with the mesh style that matches the lower grill.

    When I re-installed the upper grill it now is not locking solidly into place on the passenger side. The tabs are all in the slots on the bumper cover and the push pins are back in. However, on the passenger side where the upper grill meets the headlight I can grab it push it back and forth. What that causes is for the upper grill to stick out on that side and not match the body line. The driver side is solid and lined up properly.

    Any ideas on how to correct it or what I may be doing wrong? I'll post up some pics tonight when I get home.
