It should just pop off, getting it on can be a bit of a bitch though, have to line up all the tracks, miss one and it wont sit right

It actually slides off, not pop off. There are grooves that slide on to the pop rivet clips.

actually it is fairly easy to put back on. just put the tracks on the sideskirts than just pop it in the holes. i use to try sliding it back on under until i started thinking there must be a easier way. i done it to my teg, pretty sure the civics should be the same.
