onehundred80, your timing was perfect. Knowing where the clips are located and what they look like made all of the difference in the world.

I did start with the upper piece by prying under the glass as suggested. What I didn't realize that after releasing the clips on the outside all around, it was still stuck on. Then it was a matter of releasing the inner portion of all 11 of the clips.

Fortunately the outer portion of the surround sticks up after releasing all of the outer clips. Meaning, you can use a somewhat thin screwdriver and pry from the painted side without doing any damage to the body paint.
I keep a supply of 3M vinyl tape on hand which gives a clean edge so there should be no paint on the rubber once completed painting.
