Default Zunsport grills...bent tabs REALLY?

Bought the Zunsport grills for my C4S 991.1 with parking sensors mostly on the recommendation from others on here. Can not seem to get them to fit. I did verify they are the correct ones for my car. Seems as though the mounting/securing tabs are bent the wrong way. Can’t get past the bottom grill. Anyone else have this problem. Do I have to bend them into position? If this is the case they are going back. BTW my wrenching skills are pretty good.

All of my tabs were hooked like the bottom picture. I put them in place, pushed the grill in and then used a long screwdriver through the grill so they would catch as I released the pressure on the grill. The top photo tabs are different from mine; I have a 2018 GTS, don't know what model your have. They seem to be different.

Just don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Should I be pushing them in from the front or the back?

I just received my full set from Zunsports yesterday...all the pieces mount from the front according to the video. Now you have forced me to install them this weekend in 105F heat....thanks!

They go in from the front and on the ones with the flat tab you need to put a small retaining clip in place one you get them in position. That holds them in position. It’s a little tough to fit but all fits and works.
There are good videos available and Zunsport usually sends install instructions. Yours look right the flat tabs are for certain openings. Didn’t you get instructions and a bag of small hardware?

Got the instructions just can not seem to get the curved tab to catch anywhere so that it holds on to the inner part of plastic on the front lower fascia. Does not want to stay.

None of my Zunsport parts fit! I even send them a picture of the front of the car just to make sure the part number that I should order is correct!

As said by a the OP, the front grille has no place to catch the tab. That and the fact that the side grilles
are just wrong!

I’ve contacted them...I’m sure they’ll make it right.

You definitely have the wrong pieces. The slightly curved end is for you park assist module. Are you sure you ordered for your particular model? The model list on the website can be confusing. I’m sure they will make it right.

I checked 3 times To make sure I ordered correctly as that is the first thing I thought. I was sure I ordered the wrong parts, but no the pieces seem to be the correct ones with the exception of that curved tab with no place to hook it.

Like I said....I sent Zunsport a picture of the front of my car just so they can tell me which part number to buy.

Seems like that didn’t work either!
