Default bmw e60 rear pillar panel removal

Hello guys!
Today I decided to repair my sun blind, so I need to take off parcel shelf. To do that, I must take off the rear pillar covers. How to take off those clips shown on photo, without braking them?

Thanks!

Subscribing to the thread. My rear sunblind doesn't' work either, no noise when I activate though the button or with DIS.

Maybe the motor is dead, I will have to pull the rear shelf like you are doing. Please tell us what you find.

alexbaldy linked to the correct tool. There are other variants that cost less money. I purchased a set of plastic pry tools made by OTC from Amazon for about $40.

Thanks a lot guys! Bought few plastic tools. Repaired that sun blind, next plan is to paint mirrors (black paint exfoliates).
