Does anyone have experience re-installing the front fascia on a Ford Escape? I am having extreme difficulty getting the top rear push pins re-installed. Do you have to remove the tire to get the wheel well shield back far enough to get your hand in there?

Have you tried turning the wheel out?

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I actually put it up on jack stands and removed the wheel. I finally got smart and called a friend who has a body shop. He had a special tool that reached up there and it was "fixed" in 15 minutes. Sometimes it pays to have friends in the right place.

Today, we wire it up.
