From my understanding, they just simply pop out.

There will be little cutouts on the sills...just slide a flathead screwdriver in there and twist it, you'll pop them right out. I think there were 3 for the rears, and 4 for the fronts. Look at the AE sills and you'll see just how they're held in. I just changed mine for the AEs about a month ago.

yea i just got done driving my car around town. no rattling whatsoever! word of advice when installing these for those who have not installed yet. if the plastic is not coming off...try rocking the piece back and forth sort of firmly wiggling it. it worked for me. i guess thats one of the best ways to get them out without breaking them like i did...haha
