If you pop the hatch and look close at the underside of the tabs, you'll notice 2-3 small indentations on that little bracket.
These are small spot welds holding it to the frame. You can take a 1/8" drillbit and lightly drill the spots (don't try to drill all the way through, just about 1/32" deep). You can then work the bracket back & forth and the spot welds should snap and off comes the bracket.
File (or grind I guess) any high spots/ sharp points and paint.
