Washer fluid reservoir kickin my but (removing to get out radiator)

Need to get it out of the way to get to the shroud bolts. I saw on the backside the little 'bubble' that has to be pushed in, but still feels like it's hitting somewhere. Anything I'm missing? (Nope, it's not the cap hitting either).

Getting pretty frustrated.

Once you push the bubble in....it raises up a tiny bit the the edge of the tabs that slide in sometimes hit the shroud and hang up....so you need to be careful or pull your third hand out, to hold the tabs in in so they slide out while still pushing on the bubble......For some reason I can do it one handed......easy....and fight with it two handed.

There are two bubbles, one you can't see.
I usually use two long skinny screwdrivers slipped inbetween the mount and bottle, it slips right off.

Exactly what it was, THANKS! I felt like a dumbass after I saw the 2nd bubble. Guess that's what learning is about eh?

Once you've taken it in and out a few times, it pops right out. I've done it dozens of times now, fitting my york brackets up....
