    Two screws on top and two plastic clips you can pop out with a flat head and pull it straight up.

    i removed the two bolts and clips like u guys said, and when i pull up, it does not come out. I didn't pull really hard because i don't want to break anything. Did u guys have to pull hard when u took your grille out?
