Default Need help removing front grill on '09 H3T

I removed the two nuts from inside and popped the end clips loose but there are still 3 fasteners, on inside each of the grill ribs. I don't want to force them and break something. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to removed these? Thanks!

Besides the 2 nuts you found on the inside, there's also 2 screws on the inside, as well as 2 screws on the outside between the grille slots. Total: 6 fasteners and 4 clips.
To remove the 2 screws on the outside between the grille slots you'll need a socket extension and a 10mm socket.

Keep an eye on those small white plastic clips
They break rather easily, then they wont hold
