Hello, new to the forum. My wife loves her new-to-us '16 XC60 with 35K miles. She's 4'10", and this buggy fits her like a glove.

Most comfortable car for her to drive in many years. And great being back in Volvo-land since our 145, 244 and 164 back in the seventies and eighties.

I bought her a VCOA round grille badge as additional jewelry for the car. Problem is, I need access to the back of the grille in order to install the badge.

Can anyone advise if there is a simple way to take out the grille, or at least pull the top of the grille out a few inches so I can get a hand behind it?

I can see sliding clips that look like they would free up the top of the grille, but can't see what holds the sides and bottom of the grille in place.

Any help would be deeply appreciated!
