Default del sol sail panel removal

im taking off my sail panels (the panels right behind the rear window on the sides just above the trunk) right now on my 95 del sol vtec. ive got the top screw out, and the screw on the bottom inside. im trying to figure out the clips though. tried pulling on the sail panel a bit and pushing on the clip thats on the bottom towards the front, but i still cant get the panel off. anyone done this before?

theres probably a clip you can't see...honda blessed their clips with some unholy force that keeps a panel into place even after you've taken out every screw u can find...just rip that sucker out, see what clip you destroyed, and go a new pick one up from honda for like $1.50

well, ive got the chilton manual here, and the picture only shows 3 clips inside and 1 clip on the side. the 3 on the inside are loose, i dont know about the other one, and all the screw are out.
