Pulling a Jbody Headliner – Mirada Headache

In order to pull my headliner for repair, I have to remove the trim pieces around the roof in my Mirada. All went well until I got the the rear pillars around the back quarter window and rear window. These large panels seem to be hung up on the trim around the small window and am unsure how to pull them without breaking. The plastic is fragile enough as is without me tweaking on it hard. Any tips?
