Since Henry answered my question about trunk lid struts, I thought I'd pose another question. The little grill in the trunk lid back towards the windshield does not look to good.

Jeff: There are 4 nuts, with washers there, evenly spaced. When these are removed, gently pry up from the back. It seems that there is a "sticky" black caulk holding the front edge onto the car.

Thanks for the advice....but you guys are at the wrong end of the car. I would like to remove the front bonnet (trunk) grill near the base of the windshield.
