I think they just pull off by hand.

These trunks are so shoddy you could probably remove everything with a vacuum cleaner.

Second part of this question, where can one find replacement clips? Not that I've broken most of them...just curious...








Okay so I've broken most of them...just figured the OP might need to know the answer as well...

Note that there is an auto trim removal tool you can pickup at harbor freight for a few bucks that does wonders getting these trim plugs removed in one piece.

Yes, this is the best way to remove them. I have a similar tool and haven't broken any
since (several years).

Just be careful not to simply pry the ones that have a philips head on them. Those require gentle upward pressure with the tool as you back the philips head out. If you simply pry them, they will break, if you spin the philips without applying upward pressure, the plastic screw will just spin.
