Henryv, the valances on our 172 are held on by little angle brackets with small screws at each of the two ends.  They're hard to see, unless you can turn your bifocals upside down.  I removed both for blind repairs and though it was a bit of a pain in the butt, got them both back on in the original positions.  The brackets and screws tend to be obscured by the valance fabric edges.
Never leave footprints behind.

Mine is held in place by 2 angle brackets. Flip the 2 levers that hold the blinds up, once you get those out of the way you will see the brackets

A sledge hammer will usually get it off. I just could not resist. I do not have a clue but if you discover how to remove it let us know.

Does anybody know how to remove a valance? I don't see any screws or anything.
