Whenever I take a Maestro door card off, it seems inevitable that one or more of those little white trim clips will stay in the door and not come off with the card. Previously I've found it really difficult to remove these, but today I noticed something:
Each of these little white chaps has a number moulded in the top of him! Look very carefully as it's very small, but it is there. If you imagine a horizontal line striking out this number and going through the centre of the top of the white chap, thus bisecting the him into two semi-circules, that tells you where his weakness is! Get a pair of needle-nose pliers and grip him so that the points that the pliers grip are on this imaginary line and just rock gently from side to side while pulling.
As if by magic, he will ping out and not shatter into several non-reuseable pieces.
You probably already knew this anyway, however.
PS a diagram would have been worth a thousand words :)
