Exclamation HELp!- driver/passenger seat panel removal!!

hey guys,.. im trying to remove the panel in the back of the seat without breaking the clips that hold them in (the panel im talking about is the pocket thing on the back of the driver and passenger seats to run some wires from headrests to the bottom of the seat) Anyone know how to remove these panels without breaking the clips for re-installing them after im done?

By the way, i was told this is the best way to run wires for headrest monitors... i kinda need help im stuck right now trying to get thru this part

Pull out (rearward) from BOTTOM of panel--two friction clips. After bottom is loose, slide the whole panel down an inch or two. DO NOT PULL OUTWARD ON TOP.

pull out one bottom corner. if you're worried, put your head down there and look up into it with a flashlight--you'll see the clips. They're very tight because the holes where the clips go into are sharp. Safer I guess would be to use a clip removal tool and reach up from the bottom.
