Default Fixing the rear grill on a 991.2

Does anyone know how to remove the rear black grill? For some reason one end of mine popped up and I need to reposition it but I can't tell how it's clipped or screwed in?

i wouldn't push and prod bits of plastic. You break it you pay for it.

Dealer.

Oh. From the thread title I thought you meant "fix" as in "replace with one from a 991.1."

By the way, I don't know how the new one is held in but I would assume it is similarly to the 991.1. I removed and replaced mine with help from an Internet video. I believe it took less than 15 minutes from starting to get tools out to all tools were put back in my Tool chest. Simple job.

Why would he want his car to look like this?

That Prius looks like a pillbug.

I think I'd run by the dealer on that too. Probably a two minute fix for them.

You live in DC. There are 7 dealerships within a reasonable drive. Your car is under warranty. Don't touch it. You paid ~135k for a reason. Let them fix it.

I got impatient. It's a plastic rivet definitely could have broken but I nudged it back into place.

Thanks!

I have nothing to add other than to comment on the cleanliness of the floor.
Sweep it immediately!
