It just has around 4 clips, maybe 5?. Pull up lightly, & you should feel where they are. Then just pull straight up at the clips.

mine was attached with 2 sided sticky tape.
No idea if it origially had clips, doubt it since it slides into the black moulding.
I can gently slide, tug and manouver mine by hand releasing the tapeGoo Gone adhesive remover may be the answer or something similat from say the hardware store?

I might try using a good length of high quality dental floss tape (it is thicker than plain floss). Hold both ends and work it under the plastic piece. Move it back and forth as you move it along the piece. If the trim piece is held by double sided tape, the floss will cut through it. If you hit a plastic tab/fastener, you will know where to gently pull up. Keep doing this till the piece is removed.
Hope this helps...

Yes it has several clips as already pointed out BUT DO NOT pull it up.... you need to slide backwards about 8mm's and then it lifts out. Be careful as they break easily.

How could a German engineer not use clips? Now an American Engineer would use just the tape. It's kind'a cultural perspective on problem-solving.
