I noticed one of the horizontal trim pieces for the grill has gotten really bent up. It's a very soft aluminum, and somehow it's become 'not straight'. I found some in the Performance catalog that showed up the other day, but how do you change these? It looks like they slide over a formed plastic 'T' on the grill section. Before I even start to try to change or remove and repair the one that's on there, I'd like to have the correct procedure. Too many times I've pulled or force a part only to find out when it was off (and sometimes broken) that if I'd only known the simple trick, it would have been a breeze.

One other question, while I'm at it. What's the correct way to clean (renew) the plastic grill section. As I checked the trim, I noticed that when I rubbed my finger on the grey plastic, it came off with a chalky, white dust on it, and left the grill chalky, too. Is there something in particular that can be used to bring it back to life? It's time to do the fall wax and shine, so I might as well do it right. Thanks for any help on these two questions. Lee
