I'd like to know what's the order of clip release. I popped mine from the bottom first, then the pesky side ones, which allowed the grilles to tilt up, scraping the bumper a bit. It was going to be replaced, so didn't concern me, but had to struggle quite a bit to release the upper clips, and would NOT like to do that on a good bumper if I ever do it again.

Do popping the top ones first makes removal easier? If not, what did I miss on getting those removed without tilting the grilles? I had no way to exert force on the upper clips with grilles fully pushed in. Detailed instructions would be great. And yes, I was able to squeeze my hands with the 4 top bumper screws removed. Thx.
