Default Need help removing rubber hood seal clips!

I already broke one, I have no idea how to get them off without snapping them.



The one I broke


This is as far as I can pull it before breaking it


Also I need help removing these clips for my windshield wiper fluid lines

Well just tried to remove the fluid line clips snapped both of them, but I am using zip ties now to hold the line up and its working. God why do they make the clips impossible to remove?
