I think ist just one of those bits that either break / or dont break, when you remove them.
I just grab and pull.

They can be removed by sliding them forwards or backwards as far as possible, untill a couple of clips are exposed. Then slide the plastic the other way, lifting it slightly so that it doesn't re-engage with the clips. May need a hammer and block of wood to slide it though.
If you decide just to pull it off, slide the strip a couple of inches first, so that if the track that the clips fit in to breaks, it won't be at a position that is used when you refit the strip.
