Aspects of the disclosure relate to a front grille and a motor vehicle hood assembly, as well as methods of installing the front grille to the hood assembly. The front grille includes a peripheral frame with left and right members and a plurality of fasteners extending rearward from the left member and the right member. The hood assembly includes medially extending tab members and insertion gaps arranged proximate to left and right sides of a front aperture defined in the hood assembly. Each tab member is separated from each other tab member by at least one of the insertion gaps. During mounting, the plurality of fasteners of the front grille are inserted into the insertion gaps, and the front grille is slid upward relative to the hood assembly, causing the fasteners to slidably engage the tab members. Sliding engagement of the fasteners reduces stress on the front grille from hood deflection.
