No damage under mh but as this happened at nite ,and cold I just looked at the grille it was toast so I just got it off the road and we went on, but after looking at the opening there is no mounting holes, brackets nothing as to mounts? So anyone get me a picture of how it mounts, waiting on new one 3-4 weeks out?? Oh a 2013 378xl thanks

That metal grille is attached by short wood screws.
If you look underneath you should see the small holes that attached it to the fiberglass front cap. The screws have a small washer and the screws just go thru the opening of the grill at about 6 places.
The main thing is to make sure you don't put long screws in that will penetrate thru the cap and show up as a ding on the outside.

Hope this helps you re-install the grille.
Have a great holiday season!
