Default Loose lower grill

The part of the grill that has the ACC sensor on my 2005 A8L has come loose on one side. Can someone tell me how it's held in place.
Any thoughts on a make shift fix to keep it in place?

If the grill has become loose because of age, you could use small black zip ties to secure it to the car. On my D2, the fog light grills are notorious for falling out and the zip ties have worked perfect.

Good luck.

I believe on the D3, you have to remove the front bumper cover to remove the grill. If you have the time, might be worth it to remove that and see what's broken.

Unfortunately you do have to remove the bumper cover to check it and fix it. Although it's not too bad but not a quick project.
