Intermountain N Scale F unit Etched Grilles

[kornellred]

I have an IMRC FP7 with the etched hoizontal type grilles.  One of the grilles has an "indentation" along the upper edge that I would like to straighten out.  None of the metal is creased or bent.  I do not know how the grilles are affixed to the shell - glue or tabs maybe?  If I can remove the grille the fix would be not-too-difficult.  But I do not want to take the chance of ruining the grille when removing it.  I already checked with Intermountain - they are long sold out of spares.

Any advice would be appreciated - thanks in advance.

I’ve had them fall off before. They are glued on but mine have used minimal glue. Maybe try some light pressure on the ends and middle. If that doesn’t work try to pry lightly

Small dabs of clear drying slightly flexible 560 canopy glue will fix it.

Is that Pacer 560 or ZAP 560 we're talking about?
