you have to take the bumper off to release the oem grill tabs. They are the outermost tabs, (marked)
All the rest of the tabs are not involved. The bumper has a guard, unknown purpose, that blocks the bottom tabs. It is riveted or some fastener I couldnt get off. You can bend the guard back enough to access the tabs.

I got mine installed but I seem to getting wind/whistling noise when I'm driving over 85-90mph. Looks great but curious if you're getting any wind noise since installing it.

Sorry, but LOL. That's the car screaming at you for making it look like so many Buicks.

I also have the wind noises after swapping the grill. Did any of you already find a way how to get rid of those?

Put the original grille back on and the car will stop screaming at you for making it look like a Buick.

Ok guys, I found the solution to the whistling problem: There was a slight airflow passing in between the outer frame of the grille and the hood. I just put a foam seal in between and the wind noises are gone!

Can you send a picture of what you're talking about? I would love to take a look and try that.

I thought it was the rubber cover being a little misaligned behind the grill. I just haven't gotten it done because I need to do some other maintenance so I told my mechanic that we'll just do all of that at once.

It is. The seller just expanded the range to attract more views, I guess. There's no such thing as a 2014 S63 Coupe and 2018 - 2020 already has the Panamericana grille, which cannot be replaced with this one (won't fit). That could possibly bite this seller in the ***.

Actually, I forgot to consider the posers. Though 2014 is definitely non-existent and the ad does say "S63(ONLY!)", 18-20 S560 coupes/cab's can masquerade as AMGs.

Hello,
Can you please write me more about this problem?
Did the grill and bumper have to be removed again? Please specify where the foam was put. Thanks a lot....

I dont have any wind noise. I cant hear anything like that. And i dont know where they would put any foam. I dont know anything about that.
The only foam I know of is the Styrofoam block that is behind the bumper brackets. It is pushed in to its position before the bumper goes back on

Hello,
I thought you were writing about a whistling problem. I can't figure it out. Some attempts have already been made without positive results.

In my video you can see my Panamerica grill


So it cost me about $700 w a shop install for my grill. I got the grill off eBay because I wanted a black gloss one which was harder to find. I had to purchase twice as the first one I received the mounting tabs didn’t line up. Now it’s on and very happy, looks great, no wind noise or whistle and the night vision and all sensors work.

Question for you , I did the black grille as well . Found one that could be delivered next day on Amazon ( sounds so cheesy !) . Long story short it seems a little loose , like it can be pulled out easily and it’s not a great fit . I also notice a whistle . Does your eBay grill show these characteristics ? Thanks in advance ! Trying to remedy this

its not clipped in correctly. You have to make sure that each tab is in a slot, then that the hook snaps into each clip.
you have to take it off and see every clip from the inside.
