Grill removal for 2012 E550 coupe

Hello,

I am a long time lurker but joined forum last month. I have a 2012 E550 coupe. I thought of replacing the grill with diamond type. I am having hard time removing the grill. I followed the steps like removal of intake, remove the shroud, take out the bolt. But then when it comes to removing tabs, I am not able to get the 4 tabs everyone keeps talking about. Looks like there is some padding just under the grill part.
attaching a picture. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Well, this document helped immensely. I was doing it wrong before. With these instructions, grill came out in 5 mins. The replacement done in 10 mins flat, thanks again.
