just pull them off in an upwards direction starting at the back, when you get down to the front wing they just need a bit of a wiggle to get them out... not actually done any for many years, but I think thats right :rolleyes:

best way is to start at the door openning, work the lowest edge up and out in both directions (front and back) then start at the back first easing it off.
