Access behind Cayenne grill for radar detector
I'm trying to mount the antenna module for a concealed radar detector behind the front grill of my 04TT. Now I can't figure out how to get in behind the grill. Can the top panel near the hood latch come off? Does anybody know how to get into that area?

Thanks for the response. Your installation looks great. I know there are spring clips that hold the grill in place. Supposedly, it snaps in easily. It's the "pops out easily" that's giving me trouble. I tried a little pulling and leveraging after I read your post, but I can't get it to move. You can see that the grill is kind of flimsy when you start working with it. I'm afraid it will come out in pieces if I put too much pressure in the wrong place. I wish there was a way to release the clips to help it come out but I can't figure out how they function. I suppose I could buy a replacement grill if this one comes apart but I would like to not have to go that route.

Call Brian at Sound FX (302-644-8110). They are open from 10am-6pm (EST).
One of his employees (I think John) did both our CTs with no damage. He can give you more detail on the removal than I can.
Good Luck-
Ken

Ken,
I finally got to talk with both Brian and John this week. I was surprised to find out that the center grill is not held in place with clips but with two sided tape on the top and bottom. That was a revelation. The grills for the air intakes use clips. Now I know what I have to deal with. Just got to get to it. Thanks for your help.
