    How the **** do I remove the two top corner tabs?!

    The center of the tab appears to be larger than the hole?

    You don't need a grill. LOL, see if you can have someone pull on the grill and you work the tabs. Slight pressure helped me when I changed mine, however I haven't taken my knock off pro grill off lol. Only the oem one.

    On these two tabs in particular the center piece of the tab looks wider than the actual hole. Didn't have a problem with any of the others.

    It appears to me that the only way to remove the tabs is to brake them? SMH. Of course I wont do that.

    Gonna push all the tabs back in and start with those.

    But some TRD pro owner here has had to remove their TRD PRO grill. Can't find any info online or videos.

    Here are some pics. Looks like I'm gonna have to make the hole bigger on the side where it doesn't clip so that when I push the center it doesn't catch on the other side. The slight damage wont ve visible. Stay tuned.
