Default Facelift fresh air grill removal

How does the fresh air grill, by the wiper arms, come off? I removed the two torx screws, wiper arms, but all I can do it slide the grill from side to side. What else is holding it down on the windshield side?

There are caps under the wipers arms and you have to pull those, then there is a screw under each of those

There are tabs on the top and bottom (front and back?) that need to be squeezed in to remove. Best done with a flathead type of tool.

You can just make out the tab in this photo.
