You can either try to get behind whatever panel they're on and pinch the connecting clip... or you can just try to pull even and HARD... they usually just pop out if you're good... but getting good usually sacrafices some clips if not some molding.

there's probobly a specialty tool that makes it 10x's easier... I'll check my helms and see what procedure they suggest....

I do it a lot at my job and usually just try to pry evenly on either side of EXACTLY where the clip is and pry it hard and fast... I stopped breaking them about 2 strips in.
