you can't take it off, it's part of the grill, just cover it with tape before you paint it.

It does come off, I took mine off when I had my grill painted.
Heat it up and try using fishing line or dental floss to cut it off. Thats what I did, then used double sided tape to put it back on

Whats a better way to secure it back on once you take it off instead of double-side tape?

I just taped it off and left it chrome. It turned out fine but if you already painted it you should try Laquer thinner not paint thinner, and that should take the paint off.
