how to remove trim piece

im getting ready to paint my car. I need to remove the trim piece attached to the rear of the door. I think only 90-91 civics with seatbelts in the door have this trim piece. anyways i was getting ready to pry at it and hope its just clips holding it there, but i want to make sure im not going to bust it.

i say tape them off b4 u paint....they do have clips on the back but there very flimsy. im not sure if there is a way to release them with out breaking them.

There is a nut on the inside of door & clips holding the piece on.
