W shield pillar problem

W shield pillar problem
Working on my son's 1986 Firebird interior, hardtop. I've taken the w shield pillars off around the top window opening that helps to hold up the headliner. Now I've cussed them for a few hours and they're still not back on yet. I've broken two of the white plastic tabs that hold one of them in and can't find them anywhere. Any ideas or tricks to help or anybody know how to get the tabs out without destroying them? Thanks for all the good info I've gotten during this project.

Check post #57 of the following link for a pic and part number:

The part number is good at http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results.cfm so I'd imagine that the piece can be picked up from your dealership.
Post #7 shows the new clips very nicely (and may provide a how-to):
