Removing Trunk Lid Clips

Hey All-

I'm about to install an after-market spoiler on my Altima Coupe, but I'm having trouble with the clips that hold the carpet/liner to the trunk lid.

I don't want to snap them off, but I can't seem to get them off any other way.

Any suggestions out there?

Thanks-

Thanks all-

I was able to get them off by prying them with a flat head screwdriver and grabbing them with some needle nose plyers... Took a little doing, but once I got the hang of it, the rest of the clips were a breeze.

Of course the installation of the spoiler (pics soon) couldn't have gone a bit smoother.

The included screws were too short...and I dropped one inside the deck lid...so it's rattling around in there (but only when I open/close the trunk).
