B pillar applique replacement

[1979Shawn]

I want replace b pillar appliques cause their scratched and their textured so no buffing them out. Looks real easy to remove and install , but i'm hesitant cause I feel 3 small plastic clips will obviously break when pull applique off and pieces could fall inside the door? Don't want have pull door panel off to get the plastic pieces f their going rattle around in there? Anyone replace them and have this happen?

Thanks for the info... So the 3 plastic snap clips on the pillar panels when you removed them and they probably broke, wasn't a concern falling down inside the door?? I'm guessing not, just want make sure.
