Default Need Help! Installation of Radiator Panel

How do you remove the six plastic nuts in front of the radiator to install a radiator panel?

Don't want to do any damage.

They do not seem to pull out.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jason.

I tried that but didn't want to use too much force.
They are really tight.
Is that normal?

Not the inside plastic piece that is the problem.
Once that is pulled up, I still cannot pull the entire piece out.
Very tight fit.

By the way - carbon fibre looks great from Auto Tecknic.

you do not need to pull up the plastic all the way... you only need to half way... if you pull it up too far then it re-locks...

Jason is right. Just pop up with the screwdriver and then push it down about halfway. Pull the clip up from the base (you may want to keep a finger on top of plastic that popped up so that it doesn't go back up and lock itself). Should come off easily now.
