Default Air bridge fastener

Quick and simple question: How do you remove the plastic fastener that holds down the stock air bridge?



Is it a 'spruce tree' type fastener that you just pry up? I need to remove the air bridge and I'm paranoid about breaking the plastic housing because I don't know what type of fastener is involved. Simple question, I know. Thanks!

You can't remove it...you have to sell your car...

Seriously, they just pop out. Just put something under the tab and GENTLY pry up.

Just pull up on the air bridge and it will pop out of the post on the upper radiator cover. The hard part is getting it to sit back down flush when you reinstall the air bridge back on the car.

It's just that simple ! and to put it back you just line it up and press down and the two prongs snap back up holding the new air bridge in place.

A little vaseline and it pops right back into place.
