The grill on my 07 Itasca Sunova is completely loose -- the frame keeps it from fall off. I can push it into place, but I can't see where there is a bolt hole or clip for it.

Any suggestions?

That may be all that holds it in place to begin with. Maybe some shims to hold it from rattling if that's a problem.

Go on Winnebagos website and look at the replacement parts diagrams for your model. You should be able to see what kind clip or bolt they are using.

My Winnebago 29R grill came loose also. Mine was glued in and the glue could not hold the weight. I ended up making brackets and bolting it all together, now it won't come loose.

I too have the same issue with our 06 Vectra. The front grill is all fiberglass. When I lifted the hood portion, to pull the generator out, a visual inspection left me almost speechless. Mine has no bolts or clips. It is merely held on with several metal "angled" pieces of steel with slots in the metal. Then, a "glob" of "caulk" (I'm sure it's a special kind) is placed on the back side of the fiberglass grill. The caulk oozes (sp) through the slots in the metal angle. Once dry, that is all that holds our front grill in place. 2 of the metal angles have come loose. I'll email Winnie and get a recommendation as what to use.

Thanks to each of you! I'll check for "caulk", the website, explore some clips and figure this out, thanks to you all.

I believe what they use is:
Winnebago part number 112901-02-000
Plexus MA330 Methacrylate Adhesive 50ml found at ITW Plexus, Danvers, MA 01923

The surface has to be clean. You might want to call Winnebago and ask about surface prep.
