pull the door panel and use an old soldering iron to pull it off. when you do pull it off, it makes little plastic rings. save them as you will need the extra plastic to remelt it back together.

Or you could just yank on them till they pop off, then you realize they are permanently attached....then you cuss and punch things realizing that you just caused a couple hundred bucks of damage for some BS plastic tabs. Which could have been easily avoided by looking up how to remove them in FRF....

Oh wait, that is what I did, nevermind....

Yeah, gorilla glue did it. I didn't even think about the soldering iron trick, that would have worked too.
The really screwed up part was I that I was removing it to get mud out from around the edges while cleaning up, wasn't even trying to mod anything.
