Door lower trim fixing (the bottom bit)

I've read quite a few posts on here that essentially say "just bang it" but they also refer to 14 yellow clips. My setup is slightly different (I think). I have 3 black and one white clip at the ends which need to be slotted into the trim rather than just pressed on.

In the photo below (one yellow clip MIA) you can see the other clips circled. I assume I have to get the clips at one end out of the door. I can then slot the trim into the clips at the other end and, having put the two removed clips into the trim, press (bang) that onto the door?

Trouble is I can't get any of those clips out. Any ideas or do I have to break them and invest in new ones?

Thought I'd invest in some just in case and I'm now feeling completely fleeced after being relieved of £6.50 for 3 plastic clips... Big Cry 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

Thanks - I've ordered some today. Will attempt tomorrow in the knowledge I have some new clips if I break the old. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate
