I had the same problem, it would take time to develop. I did not need to remove grip. Slow, hard pressure from palm onto end-cap, when middle bubbles up a little, and you know you have moved it, work from middle. This takes some time and muscle but should work for you. I have been careful not to be pull the grip, while placing the scoot on the stand. This is how mine was working it's way off.
