I am in need of removing the lower front grill - one would expect simple screws to be holding it on, but no.  I have a '91 Weekender and the lower grill is held in place by a rubbery type of clamp and I do not see an obvious way to 'loosen' these or extract the grill w/o causing damage to the grill and/or the clamps.

Does anyone else have this set-up? Can anyone advise on how to safely remove the grill?

Many Thanks,
