This is the not-fun part, you have to push the black end down and remove the pin. Much easier said than done. The springs which push the ends into the side of the vehicle are pretty strong and this would have been much easier with 2 people. I found the easiest way to do it is to stand it up and push both ends in at the same time and then tap the pin out with a small hammer. Then you can pull it out with a pair of pliers. The whole time you do this be careful not to break the black plastic ends and to not bed the rod which the pin is in. The rod is fairly easy to bend and it will mess things up pretty bad. Once you have one end off you can then remove the vinyl sheet thing.
