left up an edge with a flathead screwdriver and grab the base with needle nose pliers and yank er out. I use the Christmas tree retainers I get from Lowes. Very easy to work with

I reuse mine. Christmas tree buttons are the best I have found for the under hood engine cover clips. they are silver and in the hardware section. look for the automotive fastner drawer
