How to replace wheel arch trim?

My passenger side front wheel arch trim has come loose. Not the piece on the engine hood. The one nearest the passenger door.

The trim piece itself is undamaged. Looks like some of the clips have failed and I have ordered replacement clips.

My question is how to remove the trim without damaging it? And then how to reinstall it?

I removed the fender liner, well just removed the plastic clip things holding the rear portion of it in and used needle nose pliers to squeeze the clips out of their holes.
