i found a cargo cover!!!! but i need help!

hey guys i found a cargo cover at the junkyard and i know how to install it because of the way i took it out. but in the junkyard i wasnt afraid to break anything but in my truck i dont want anything bent or broken! i can do everything but i need to get a pannel loose. does anybody know what these are and how to get them off without breaking them or anything else???

Take a fork and break off the middle deals and use it like you would a hammer pulling a nail out

Or go to autozone and get the interior push pin tool

Pin removal tool

you dont need to take those completely off, i took off the center trim panel behind the window and weaseled my cover in, dont forget to put the j clips on the body before you put the cover in

Just go to any auto store and buy yourself some new ones. Break the old ones and replace. Lowes has them too in the nuts and bolts section.
