Nope! They all seem smooth as butter.

Correct. Only DCT have the transmission cooler which is secured to the bottom of the radiator with a single torx screw.

First of all (if you have the DCT) ensure you’ve unscrewed the torx screw at the bottom of the fan cowling to release the transmission cooler.
Then, put a large flathead screwdriver thru the opening on the rubber piece. Put it in sideways so it goes in with no resistance. Then turn it 90 degrees and simultaneously pull up on the fan, taking care not to over stress anything. The rubber piece is attached to the fan cowling, and clips in to the “charge air” piping.
Make sure you’ve released the plastic clip that is just above that rubber piece as well.
