Ya, I think I might have been the one who complained about the expensive
clips when I installed my liner. Something like $1 a piece for tiny
pieces of plastic that cost less than 1 cent to make - good profit
margin. I didn't really mean to imply that one should break them during
removal...

To rephrase my original statement, "Just pop them off carefully, bla,
bla, bla,...". ;)
