71 CS, How to remove trim for vinyl.

I have a 71 CS with a Vinyl top?

I figured out a few parts on the rear deck. But not sure how to remove the other sections.

these clips hold the halo trim, these should be the same as the rear deck section ,I use the plastic putty knife to get it started or if you have a trim tool , just go slow so you don't bend the trim

Thanks for the tips to remove the trim.
There are two types of clips, I'll just call them A and B.
The B-clip has a screw hole mount. There are 8 of these.
The B-Clips were much harder to Pop off and usually shattered.
The A-Clips slide over an existing stud. These popped off easily.
I plan on buying a few new of each for the re-installation.
I did use a pair of plastic putty knives to slide under the trim and pop off.

The Screw clips were harder to pop off. The key-hole style popped off easily.
