2017 Altitude Grille Removal
Can someone point me in the right direction? I bought black grille inserts and am looking for some installation instructions. A you tube would be great if one exists.

It's very hard... you have to remove the entire front bumper... I bought the bright-finished "Honeycomb" inserts to replace the black "Slat-Style" inserts on my '14 Limited... I ended up going to a dealer and they charged me $99 to put them in for me. I gave up after realizing it was something I couldn't do myself, and not wanting to break anything on my daily driver.

Old fart with a wrench
I've heard you have to remove the fascia and grill to change a headlight too! That's insane!

It's true! Our dealer (which wasn't a Jeep dealer itself but was owned by a small family of dealerships that also owned a Jeep dealer and trained techs on how to work on Jeeps as well) said they knew of an easier way to do it (didn't tell us how), but I bet they still had to do all that work... luckily they only charged us $99 to do it, no tax, since we'd already bought the slats from another Jeep dealer.
