Changing my brothers grill out and he was missing these two bolts does anyone know the size? So I can pick them up at a hardware store. They are the two bolts that keep the top part of the bumper where you snap the bumper out. Any help thanks!

And due to the change in hardware at that point, the bumper tabs are much less susceptible to breakage.

What was the hardware change? Push pin instead of the bolt?

Whatever it was it had to address the problem with pre-18 which were:

The cover had plastic slots that wedged between the fender and a block bolted to something behind the cover. The clearance between that block and the fender varied too much and some the cover would slip out between easily and some were wedged in so tight the slots tore when removing. Luck of the draw. One side of mine came out very easily, the other I couldn't believe did not rip I had to pull so hard. If It has to come out again, it probably will tear.

I guess some people messed them up not removing all the bolts, but that's a procedure problem.
