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.

hey, glad to see that you had no major issues fixing your trim. I like your idea on pulling the clip out of the hole using flexible tubing or twine to prevent damage to clip and your fingers
. Where do you get the flexible tubing from?
