Default removing the grill ?

Any one out there have instructions for removing the grill from a '06 H3...The airhorn that was installed prior to purchase, is in need of replacement and it's located behind the grill in front of the radiator. Any suggestions on what I should buy as a replacement for the horn...something that will last..Thanx BB

a couple bolts or screws need to come out, the left and right side are cliped in and will pop out but then u need to open the hood and there are 2 on top and then in the grille there are 2 that need to come out and then it comes off, i replaced my horn right away but i actually did not remove the whole thing was able to work my hands in and do it but would of been much easier to do with it off,here are the pics these are pics of the right side,2 on top left and rights on vehicle and 2 in grille ,left and right of vehicle

4 Nuts need to be removed, then it will pull off forward. Two of the nuts are in plain view on top when you open the hood, the other two are toward the top, but in behind the grill, you can reach in between the grill openings (up towards the top) and feel them.

Once those four are removed it just pulls off as it is held in by clips and pins.

The filler, behind the grill then has bolts that are all visible to take out to remove that. The entire thing comes off very easily.

Default Damn Clips>>

Anyone know where to get replacement clips or is the dealer the only one?
Anytime I take these things apart, I always break a plastic clip, guaranteed.
Do you think GM dealerships would have the same clips?
Thx

I have broken a couple of these every time I remove the grill
Here is the part number for your search GM:11561829
They come two to a package. I just bought mine from the dealer
If you find them online, then you have to deal with nominal shipping costs
