Haval H6 grille removal process: 1. Open the front hood and remove the 4 nuts on top of the front bumper; 2. Lift the front bumper slightly and pull it outward a bit; 3. There are 4 small screws behind the grille to remove, then only clips remain, which require a bit of force; 4. Completely remove the front bumper, then take off the grille. The Haval H6 is an urban intelligent SUV with body dimensions of 4640mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1690mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. The Haval H6 comes standard with features such as headlight height adjustment, home light delay-off function, 4-way steering wheel adjustment, dual airbags, rear air conditioning vents, cruise control system, and intelligent voice GPS navigation system.
I've taken apart the Haval H6 grille several times. The key is to avoid breaking the clips. First, open the hood—there are usually 4-6 screws on top of the grille, just loosen them with a Phillips screwdriver. Then, crouch down and check the seam between the bumper and grille where plastic clips are hidden. Gently pry them open using a pry tool or flathead screwdriver, working from the sides toward the center. The trickiest part is around the license plate frame; some model years require removing the plate first. Once everything is loose, lift the grille upward and pull it outward to remove it. When reinstalling, make sure the clips align properly—last time I forced it back misaligned and snapped two clips, forcing a trip to the auto parts market. Pro tip: keep spare clips handy (a pack costs about $3 online) just in case.
Removing the front grille is actually quite simple. I usually prepare a plastic pry tool and a small Phillips screwdriver first. You can see the mounting screws under the hood, and after removing them, focus on the clips. Pry along the top edge of the bumper—the clips on the Haval H6 are tight but brittle, so be gentle. For models with daytime running lights, remember to disconnect the wiring harness first. Last time I helped a friend, I noticed the clip positions on the newer models differ from the older ones, so checking the specific year is important. The whole process takes about 20 minutes, and I recommend doing it in daylight for better visibility—working at night makes it easy to damage the clips. After removing the grille, take the chance to clean dead insects and cottonwood fluff from the radiator—it works great and regular cleaning improves AC efficiency.
Basic steps for removing the front grille: Open the hood, remove the screws, and pry off the clips. The clips on the Haval H6 are lined up along the top edge of the bumper. You can use your nails or a prying tool to release them one by one. Note that the license plate bracket may obstruct the process, so a flat-head screwdriver is more convenient here. Once all the clips are loosened, gently push upward and pull outward to separate the grille. The actual operation is simpler than watching tutorials—I finished it in ten minutes on my first try. The key is to be patient; rushing can easily break the clip sockets. By the way, the removed grille can be replaced with a honeycomb mesh for a significantly improved visual effect.
