Your in for a treat. It looks so much better.Mine gets painted next week. I can't wait.![]()
Wow that does look much better. Could you walk through taking the diaper off? Is it easy to damage any pins in the process? Did the bumper snap on afterwards just like it fit before? I absolutely cannot stand car rattle so that’s my biggest concern with modifying trim.Black diaper back on. Looks so much better. Obviously. View attachment 75250
It's documented here in Post 54:Wow that does look much better. Could you walk through taking the diaper off? Is it easy to damage any pins in the process?

Did you bake them in the oven to get in there or did you use a heat gun?
Cool... Mine won't fit in my oven anyway...Heat gun.
I've always used an oven in the past, but this is the first time I've used a heat gun and I don't think I'm ever going back. It worked really well.
One major note on the Escape headlights. They have a little screw in the upper outside corner of the housing/lenses that need to be taken out before removing the lenses. I didn't know that so I ended up stripping both sides out before noticing the end of the screw sticking out of the housing when putting them back together. I've never seen a lens held on with a screw before, it's usually just the glue.
Looks good! I got impatient and tried the heat gun method. Stopped after a small crack in the clear plastic. Glad yours worked though! Still planning on putting different lenses/lights in? The wife and I were out the other night and she asked me if I had the headlights on. She told me when I got home that I needed to fix that. Anxious to see what you do.
Man that looks good. Really makes the chrome stand out though which I guess you can't really do anything about.
