Suggestion
It looks like they would unclip using a flat blade screwdriver to spread them and then slide them off.
The best way I have found it to use a flat blade screwdriver to push the outside edge tabs inward (I think) to clear the place where they latch to the car and then pry down in the center of the clip to push it off the car.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

They are easily bent, and tabs can break off when removing. I consider them discartable / single use, and always have a few extra lying around.
Having said that, your problem when removing them basically becomes an act of not busting the plastic panel they secure.
This works well:
Sorry to revive this old thread, but does anyone know the part number of the clips referenced in this thread or where I can buy a replacement one? My undercarriage is missing one. I'm thinking the dealer may be the best option.
You should be able to find the clips and more on this website/page.
Check the model and year to be certain it's what you want.

The best way I have found it to use a flat blade screwdriver to push the outside edge tabs inward (I think) to clear the place where they latch to the car and then pry down in the center of the clip to push it off the car. Its a two handed operation. You should figure out the exact direction and what works best once you start prying things around.
As was noted above, they tend to break coming off and it's good to have a few around. They are inexpensive.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
