I would have to drill out the metal to get these retainers to drop in the =
holes and still have room for the pin, even with a friction fit.Mike

Hmm, well, now that you mention it, I think I scrounged up my own plastic =
retainers, since I didn=E2=80=99t buy a new grill =E2=80=94 I was just refi=
tting an old one after painting. And I may have had to open up the holes a =
little, since they had paint build-up.

You shove the plastic retainers into the holes from above. Then stab the g=
rill surround into them. They are not =E2=80=9Cnuts=E2=80=9D, they are fric=
tion retainers.
