I've always wondered about that as well ... It don't seem like you can take that part off without doing something to the plastic studs ... It's like a plastic rivit ...

Heres what i did.... Took a rotery tool and put a small wheel grinder and grinded the little white "button" until and came loose. You prolly could use a mini torch because when i grinded it go so hot it got real gooey so you could soften it till its loose. Once you get it ff the carpet will pull right off

Use a plastic weld glue type thing or you dont have to connect it at all. I didnt and once its locked in place its tight. When you use the glue just make sure its in the exact posistion that it was in or it wont go on right.
