i could pop 1 of the top tab but it will pop right back in. i am afraid to use more force since it looks to be connected to the electronic grill shutters. what am i doing wrong?

Haha. Rarely is anything as easy as in videos. At least, that has been my experience. I remember I had a hard time popping off some of the tabs too. Same issue. Pop one and move to the next and the one I popped off goes back in. I got frustrated and yanked it out using a lot of force. I lost a little paint on the bumper (should've masked it up first) but that is covered by the replacement grill.
