How to replace the lower side grilles of the Volkswagen Jetta

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Body

In this video, we see how to replace the lower grilles of this Volkswagen Jetta, which had a chrome border, with completely black grilles. We can find them, for example, on eBay with the code 388060267703 at a price of 27.42 for the pair, with free delivery. Replacing them is simple, as they are held in place only by a side screw on the inside, and then by several tabs. Let's take a good look at the screw, which we remove, and then carefully pull it towards us and outwards at the same time. Once this operation is done, it's time to install the new one: insert it into the slot on the outside and then push it in firmly, so that the tabs lock in place. Tighten the screw and the first one is done. Now we need to repeat the process on the other side.
