Default Any recommendations for removing the trunk liner to access rear shock upper mounts?

Hi folks,

I'm trying to remove the trunk liner to gain access to my rear shocks. How are those tabs/clips keeping the liner in place? Do you literally just pry them off with force? Screwdriver?

I don't want to damage them since I'd obviously like to reuse them.

Is it different than this?

Thanks

They pull straight out/back. Take it easy and use a panel puller.

panel pullers are cheap though so buy one
