Well, I decided to take another bout at it again to get the trim back on.

I had to remove all four clips. I took a 12 inch piece of flexible tubing (twine would also work) and wrap it around the head of the clip. I didn't want to use pliers or anything hard that could damage the clip. As I pull up on it, I also wiggle it left and right. The clip eventually move out of the hole and off completely. Don't attempt to pull it straight up, it takes a lot of strength and you might bent the metal hole underneath. The method is kinda like pulling teeth, so to speak, but it works. The clip is actually pretty tough, I didn't feel that it would break off easily as I orginally thought.

After all 4 clips taken out, putting the trim back was a snap. Slide the clip on the rails, align all four holes and slowly snap it into place.
