Please Help....Removing & installing new grille in 2012 Yukon XL?

[yukondoit12]

Hey all I am new to this forum and very excited to be a part of the GMC family. I just bought a diamond white Yukon XL a few weeks ago. I have purchased the mesh grille from Paramount Restyling which I would like to install myself, but I cannot find a proper DIY or video instructions guiding me through the process. Can someone PLEASE help me or lead me in the right direction? I would GREATLY appreciate your help! Thanks guys and I look forward to your responses!!

You might need to get instructions from the actual company you bought it from, but this is how you remove the stock grill

Thank you for your help nathanjax, but unfortunately that video doesn't show how to remove the stock grille. It does show him removing a few screws from the top of the grille at the beginning, however I am pretty sure that there is more to it because I removed those screws and the grille still did not budge. I can't believe that there isn't a DIY thread or video on this. I know a lot of people have aftermarket grilles on their Yukon and I would think that there was much more info on how to replace them. Hmmm...anyways, thanks again buddy!

There is clips all the way around the grill (can't remember what style), easiest way would be to remove the bumper and then you could see what you are doing.

Wow, really? I would have to take off the entire bumper just to change the grille, huh? They sure don't make it easy. I was told it should take anywhere from 20-30 minutes. Guess that was inaccurate.

You can do it with it on there but if you are not familiar with different style clips you may not be able to do it with it on. Removing the bumper is not that hard.
