Thank you Doug. I'm going to try what you suggested. I did not try to push it from within. I used WD40 to loosen the nuts and that helped. I'll try to do this again later this afternoon. I'll post a pic of my T4R with the chrome hood shield. Thanks again!
I have a 09 4Runner and I am difficulty getting the front grille to move. I loosen the screws but I still cannot insert the shield into the grille. Please help. Thank you in advance.
