headlight trim removal?

["Smith, Kirby A" <kirby.a.smith@lmco.com>]

Greetings:
	Below the headlights on my 1988 90q is a trim strip that lies
parallel to the bumper cover just above it.  It appears to be held in place
at each end by extending an attached stud through a typical VAG plastic
retainer attached to the fender.  Is this strip removed just by applying
force to the stud from inside the fender?  Does this typically damage the
plastic retainer so I should order some in advance of removal?  Thanks in
advance.
