Default Front Bumper Facia R/R

There's a "bolt" (actually some plastic push 'n click fastener) located behind the main grille - about 4 & 8 o'clock - that's preventing my removing the front bumper assembly.

I have the Chrysler shop manual and looked at ptdoityourself.com, but cannot figure out how to get those two bolts off. Anyone able to provide DETAILED help and further prevent [xx(] I'll be working on it tomorrow night.

you may have forgotten to take out the screws that attch up under the bumper. They are under your radiator/intercooler. There are three of them, and if you don't take them off the bumper might have trouble coming off. I took mine off and there are NO plastic fasteners on the front bumper. The rear bumper has fasteners....

Ok, experience is the best teacher.

Each wheelwell = 3 screws, grille = 4, bumper = two at the lower grille and 3 under the bumper behind the air deflector. All are 7mm. Found out my area of concern was nothing since the facia slides into two hidden mounts between headlights and radiator.

Moral of the story: Nothing's quite as mentally satisfying as chillin' out, rolling up the sleeves and getting your hands dirty. [?]
