How to Replace Grille 2011-2018 Volkswagen Jetta

Buy Now!

This video shows you how to install a grille on your 2011-2018 Volkswagen Jetta. Grilles on today’s vehicles are for the most part plastic. And, they are often the first point of contact between your vehicle and rocks, debris, or worse. Because of this, they crack or break easily, and they do actually protect sensitive parts like radiators and air conditioning condensers.

This repair was done on a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta S Sedan 4-Door FWD and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2011 Volkswagen Jetta
2012 Volkswagen Jetta
2013 Volkswagen Jetta
2014 Volkswagen Jetta
2015 Volkswagen Jetta
2016 Volkswagen Jetta
2017 Volkswagen Jetta
2018 Volkswagen Jetta

Tools you will need:
• Pocket Screwdriver
• T25 Torx Socket

Thanks for making this one channel is recommending taking off the bumper to replace the grille. Obviously not the case!

[JabokChannel]

Thanks so much for uploading this helpful Jetta grill removal tutorial! I definitely would've broken it trying to figure it out myself!

You can remove the badge without the grill out, and it’s much easier than what you did. Just turn it, no need to jam screwdrivers or picks into it from the back.

Do you guys have a video of replacing the hood on same Jetta?

1 hour into putting the new grille on it is not clipping in idk what to do

Someone hit my car recently in a parking lot and the logo is missing and the right side is cracked and the hood just slightly. Does anyone know how much this would cost me in Canadian?

weird. you turned it clock wise to REMOVE it, and turned in Clock wise to Install it. there is some kind of miscommunication here, from what i see in the video he turns clock wise both times. :/

The 2019 Jetta is different you have to take off the bumper.
