Default How to remove rocker panel clip/support?

Taking one of my rocker panel covers off, I noticed that there are a few different types of clips and supports under there. I linked two of the clips/supports below.

Can anyone explain to me the correct way to remove these clips/supports without breaking them?

For the plastic clips, use a paint scraper covered up with tape or a plastic scraper to pop the clips out of their retainers. You will find threaded retainers at the end of the rocker near the front wheel and two on the shark fin. The front one is accessible through a flap at the bottom of the front wheel house 9held on by one phillips screw) and the rears are accessible by removing the leading wheel house liner. You will need a 10 mm socket the remove the plastic nuts (and a 10 mm dog bone wrench to remove the nut near the oil tank, right rear wheel).
There are two phillips screws holding the shark fins from underneath and six 10 mm plastic nuts holding the rocker on underneath the car.

What Paul said. But have extras before you start the job. Due to age a few will break.

To re-install them do you put them together first as one piece?

IIRC, I reinstalled with the clips on the body, then popped the rocker cover on. Btw, when you order the clips, specify 964 turbo as the regular 964 ones are smaller.
