I did it once to re-wrap them. as for the insert of the panel you have to take it off from behind. there is melted rivet spots that have to be removed with like a grinder or even a sander with 40 grit could work. the material will come off there really easy. hope this helps

but like egsedanguy said, they are like melted into the rest of the door panel. i used a die grinder but that chewed them up pretty bad and made reistalling them a pain in the ass.

when attaching them back there is a few ways. 1 way is to glue them back on at the original spot with a fast epoxy/glue.
the other way is to get some short screws with a washer and screw it back in the original spots. just be sure they are short or you will go threw. I liked this method a little better since I could take the screws out mush easer if I wanted to change up the material.
