Question Access to horn

This is a re-post from @Reggaetrix, How do I gain access to the horn so that I can replace it out with something better? I can see it clear as day but I can't figure out all of the fasteners to remove or if the whole grille needs to come out. Ideas?

You do have to drop the front bumper if you don't want to rip those rivets out on that top plate. You have to pull the 3 fasteners under the wheel well, then the 4 on that plastic trim. to get to the nut that holds the bumper in place. Then pull all the fasteners on top and it will be loose enough to pull it forward to access the horn. If is a pain, yes but it's the only way to do it without cutting into that section.

DON"T DO IT PCMedic67!!! See my post in the other thread dealing wth this issue. You're not "tearing out" the shroud rivets, you're simply removing the rivet heads with a 9/64" drill bit which is SOP for this type of thing. On reassembly, you simply pop 4 new 9/64" rivets into the holes with a rivet gun and you're done. Easy-peasy! This is a much simpler route than removing the bumper cover.
