[Big Kev-O]

Most auto parts stores sell the tool used to remove the clips from the handles for about $5. I managed to get mine off with some really thin needle nose pliers and another time I got them off with two allen wrenches but the tool is by far the easiest and least likely to cause damage to the handle or panel. This link might help, there is a picture of the tool.
