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

  I was surprised to find mine was just dropped into position with nothing t=
o retain the pins.  I bought the little plastic being sleeves that you slip o=
ver the pins to retain the grill that Moss sells, but for the life of me I c=
an't figure out how to put them on.  Kind of tough from above.  I am beginni=
ng to understand why I found the grill that way.
