SL55 AMG 2005-rear bumper impact strip removal

Hi All, first time user here. I want to pop the rear drivers side bumper impact strip. I understand I am to start prying closest to the wheel well. My question is, will the impact strip release with prying only or will there be tabs to be popped as well?


Thanks
Moxie

I got them off. Squirt some lube on the clip area and use a credit card as a clip wedge while prying and bingo.
