How remove Rear bumper fascia molding
I need to remove rear bumper fascia molding (black diffuser list) but how do I disconnect the plastic clips or even get into them? I have tried to firmly pull out the black plastic but no success. Manual doesn't give much clue. Any suggestions? I don't want to remove whole rear bumper. Just the black diffuser list with the two holes for exhaust.

Its difficult without removing the rear cover. I tried. In the end, it was easier and faster to just remove it. And I didn't have to worry about breaking any tabs trying to RIP the other one off.

I have replaced that piece successfully without removing the bumper. I recall using plastic tools, some water and wd40. It was tedious but doable
