Hi all,
Took the headlight trim rings off today (the decorative outer ones, not the ones that actually secure the headlight) to paint them black. Noticed they were only held on by one screw and when I put them back on they weren’t tightly secured to the grille any more.
Took them off again for a closer look, turns out there is a small tab at the bottom of each ring that fits into a slot in the grille plastic. However by this stage there was no sign of anything that would hold that tab at the back of the slot to keep the ring tight, so there was either nothing there to start with or whatever it was (spring clip, etc.) had got lost in the removal process.
Any idea what should be there? Have tried Googling without success…
