     I did this to my ti over Memorial Day weekend.  Take hold of the flat 
     end at the door openings, pull towards you firmly but carefully, and 
     it should pop off.  Without fail, one clip stayed in the panel from 
     each of the trim pieces, but this was easily removed with a small pair 
     of needlenose pliers.  Snap the offending clip back into the track on 
     the back side of the trim piece.  When finished, line up the rubber 
     nipples on the back of the clips with the holes in the body, and push 
     firmly back in.  You may need to use a rubber mallet, (I didn't) but 
     be careful.  Hope this helps.
