Default Really dumb question- how do you remove the jack point covers off the plastic rockers

Am in the process of ceramic coating her new i pace and for the life of me I can't figure out how to take the plastic covers over the jack points off. Of course the owners manual fails to mention them at all. Guess it is Jags way of selling lots of overly priced pieces of plastic when you have your tires replaced. Any ideas?

When I had my tires changed I didn't see an issue but I haven't put the car up on my own rack yet. Here are the instructions, they say nothing about removing covers: Jaguar Owner Information

Use a plastic wedge to pop it off. They are not jacking spots. They cover the hole for the tow hook if your vehicle ever needs to get towed.

Yeah I finally figured it out. Thought I had posted back up with it but guess I didn't hit the post button. So yeah a plastic pry tool on the side of the cover and it will come out. First time you swear you are gonna break something or that it comes a different way but the top (long portion is held in place with plastic L nubs, the sides are held in by a metal clip on a plastic nub.
