Grasp firmly, yank...

Or remove the interior quarter trim to access the fasteners.

Take your chances with pulling it off you will most likely not break the clips and it is easier than taking the door apart.

take the insert piece out first.. try to slide it a little bit cause its got a little plastic hook on the inside, then it'll pop right off.. from there you can reach your hand in and work it by each plastic pin so you don't break them and can reuse for reinstall.. easy job should take no more than 60sec a side.

When I put on the Bullitt side panels I just yanked the GT scoops of none of the arrow clips broke. I reused them on the Bullitts.

Almost the same here. I slid off the honeycomb filler piece, and worked the scoop out with a small screwdriver against the body underneath the scoop. Popped right off, and was able to reuse my clips on the Bullitt panels.
