Arm Rest Removal

Hi All, I ordered some replacement leather for the front arm rests from Redline.

Having a problem with installation, both their instructions and the Haynes Manual say there is a clip to release for post 09 2002 cars (clip located on the arm bar) - I don't have a clip, i've checked the vin and it confirms a 2003/11 build date (which is what I was told when I purchased new in March 04). Also the radiator is stamped 10 2003.

The arm rests appears to plug in the top and bottom of the bar via six plastic pins (two of which are now broken - which is how I can see there is no release clip).

Any suggestions? Do I have a pre 09 2002 door trim? If so how are they removed?

Cheers Stewart
