Default Removing Front Plate Filler

Anyone know how to remove the front plate filler on a 2017 A4?

I purchased the front plate filler and before installing want to find out how difficult it is to uninstall. I live in Maryland where front plates are required. I want to make sure it's easy to put my plate back on should I start getting tickets.

I thought about that too as I was snapping mine in. I'll worry about it when I need to, not before.

A really thin flat blade screw driver. Anything too thick will damage the grille and the filler.

A trim removal tool should work fine too.

pretty sure you will damage it with a screwdriver. You can reach under it through the grill holes and use your fingers to loosen the arms that snap it in. I've done it and it's easy to do and doesn't damage it
