Just discovered this.remove small piece of chrome waist trim,insert a hook through the square hole and pull the clip back.done.may cost the price of 1 clip if your fussy.

a pic sire showing the size and shape of hook may be invaluable to those of s who do not wish to damage our crochet needles...

Sorry to be thick, is it the clip that hold the pins on the thumb finisher that you are talking about?

Yes bob correct,but still in my case,I still have to take off the door card to slide the clip back as I'm in filling the recesses.

still useful for others though.
