Step 1: There are four clips on the bottom of each side. Undo those clips first. They can be screwed out, but you're probably just going to strip it. It is soft plastic, and your best bet is just to wedge a screwdriver under the clip, and pry it out.
Step 2: Slide it forward. This will require some muscle. Grab on to something (tire?) and pull straight forward as hard as you can. Maybe bring a mallet and something to dampen the blow. I ended up kicking it forward.
Step 3: Pull it off, after it has slid forward. It will come right off. Don't force it, or you will break all the clips (9 of them on each side). The clips should be still attached to the car. Rotate them 45 degrees and pull to get them out. You may not even need the clips, as you can just reuse the ones in your car.
Tools: Screwdriver, mallet, cloth.
