I need to go back through and take off the sticky and glue down properly.
I would suggest glueing them down properly in the beginning.

I removed the sticky adhesive as many have mentioned. I also used the gel type glue, but I'd comment that you need to use more then a dab in each corner. Several of the tabs came loose when I attached the zip ties, so I had some heavier glue adhesive and that fixed the issue (but took longer to dry).

my grille mod
I vinyl wrapped my grille and did the DIY grille mod. I cleaned the grille with a non detergent grease and wax remover. Laid the vinyl out and worked the flat areas first. Then were there was a wrinkle I just lifted the vinyl and started from that area. Then with heat i pulled the vinyl over the edges. Then with heat formed the grille slots, then I cut out the slots. i did the same for the head light and signal light holes. I took the sticky backs off of the mounting bases. Then I sanded the bases and the grille where I was going to place the Bases. I used 60 sec. epoxy. Then I cut the Gutter guard to size and Zip tied them down. Easy and looks good.
