    I believe you will find it easier to begin bottom right rather than at the top. There is a gap there that allowed me to remove it with my fingers rather than using any tool. If you find what is causing your rattle, it might be useful to others to describe where you found it and what you did to correct it. Good luck.

    This video will get you started; if you go further, please keep us informed about your quest.

    Hope this helps.

    Sorry no one got back to you sooner. In order to replace the clips, you pull OUT on the center of the clip - the same center that you push IN to remove.
