Yes there are some covered screws and some plastic rivets, take a look here, different subject but shows what you want to know (scroll down to fitting the AC mod):
http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/acmod.htm
The plastic rivets mentioned have a pin that you can push through and then pull the rivet out – 2 of them you can catch the pin in your hand & re-use them the other 2 the pins get lost behind the panel.
I assume you got more than just the arms if you’re taking the grille off.
If you have to take the grille off I would recommend taking the whole assembly out and cleaning the insulating grommets, spacers and bodywork.
Getting rid of the accumulated muck around the mountings made my wipers quieter.

If your car has had a windscreen replacement the ends of the grille will perhaps have pop rivets in, courtesy of the glass man and may well be broken.When mine are having a replacement I remove the wiper arms,mirror and grille and hide them so that I can refit them properly later.
