    I'm trying to remove the grill surround from my grill to put the grill surround on my new 2017 style pro grill. The clips on the bottom that hold the grill to the surround are not easily moveable to get the grill off. I've broken two so far. Any ideas on how to do this?

    I used a knife to cut the back piece so I can push the center thing of the tab. Learned that after messing up my chrome surround and pro surround. Got it right on third try with my MGM surround.

    Ok. Thanks! Yea, I've never seen a clip set up like that before. Pretty much made to not come apart. Shitty design!

    @Brandisher can't thank you enough for posting this. I was pulling my hair out. After cutting those back they "slipped" right out. You the man, thanks!
