Default lower grille falls out

I had to tow my Crossfire to the dealer, now the lower grill/fascia cover on the towing side fell out in the driveway (thankfully). Does anyone have a decent way to keep it from falling out again?

Velcro sticky sided tape, lots of it.

There is tab (part of the grill) on the left side of the cover and it may not have been set in it's hole all the way if it doesn't want to set properly you can gentle bend the tab for a tighter fit.

You can use a heat gun on low power, heat the grill all over then straighten it out a little, ie: take some of the curve out of it. If inserted correctly, there are tabs on the center end that go into two slots, then there are two snap in tabs on the outer edge.
