06 XC70 grille removal to replace horn - How?

Post by scot850 »

I have Vida and have tried to read the how to but it gives the impression you have to remove the front bumper to remove the grille, but that would seem stupid. If you have removed the bumper why would you need to remove the grille?

I have problems with my version of Vida (maybe because I have to run IE9 to get it to work) when it comes to accessing repair info. Usually I can access the info by going to the PRINT option as that allows me to scan down the instructions, but that option is not there.

Does anyone have info on how to remove the grille or at least access the locking tabs for the grille?

Thanks,

Neil.
