2011 Yukon grill removal

[nuscence813]

Hello can anyone out there help me out??? I am trying to remove the grill off my 2011 Yukon to paint the trim black and also change the grill. I removed all the bolts from the top (8 total). I cant seem to get it out. I've tried opening the cliPs around the grill with no luck. Does anyone know what to do or where I can get this info at? I've found a couple but they weren't too specific at all. Grillcrafts instructions are horrible.

There are eight tabs which affix the grille assembly to the bumper cover/facia by snapping into place. They are not easily accessed but hopefully these pics will help.

Two on each side(driver/passenger)...

Here are upclose shots of the side tabs.

And four on along the bottom of the grille... (the grille assembly in this pic is upside down)

Here are upclose shots of the bottom tabs.

Good luck!

Did you have any luck with the removal Afrim?

How do you access the clips? I see where they are but no idea how to unsnap them.
