Ciao: Following the instructions on my repair DVD, I'm seeking help on removing the front bumper cover (AKA "trim") Item # 10 in image.

I've remove all of the fasteners detailed, and next step to to pull in the forward direction and release the 4 (four) 'catches' shown in the image below. The trim is free and released from the wheel arches. The trim has moved about 2mm forward below the headlights, but refuses to budge further.

Removing the tow eye covers, I can gain some additional force with two fingers thru the hole(s) in the trim, but I'm stuck.

Has anyone first hand experience they can shed on how to overcome the 4 'catches'?

Thanks,
DC
