Damn door weather-stripping

How do you get that outside door weather stripping off? I can't get those plastic clips to let go. I'm sure there's a trick, but I've already broke one of them. What's the secret?

I figured it out ... gotta kinda push the strip forward, and then lift up. They're like $38 each from Mazdatrix - screw that. I'm going to grind 'em down and put new moulding tape on them.

If I didn't care how it looked I wouldn't have wasted all that money on the paint. And I sure wouldn't have bought Fikse's ...

It's gotta look nice.
