I just finished installing the top part of my Cloudrider grille. The bottom part wasn't too bad but the upper part had me cussing and kicking.
Those little flat "thingamajiggers" at the end of the screw that you have to finagle through the hole of your existing grille in order to tighten it down are just downright hateful little buggers to insert. It took me almost 1 solid hour to get them in there. I had to bend and wiggle the screen in order to see what I was doing. Now the screen pooches out in one part and doesn't lay flat because of me having to do that. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr :evil:
If I ever wanted to take the dang thing off it would be equally if not more difficult to do so. The little flat peices of metal at the end of the screw also scratched the inside holes of the existing grill very badly. There was no way to attach the thing from the behind the grille because of the top part of the radiator is sealed off and I couldn't gain access to that area except in the manner I did. WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUTT!!!! :roll: Then after I got the top screen on the rubber edge started to come off.
Thank goodness I was able to take my fingernail and push in back into place. If I had to take that thing off and do it over again I might have slit my wrists. It looked so simple and straightforward to install. Not all things are as easy as they look.
