As you replace the two plastic clips, do this during warm weather and use a heat gun to soften up the vapor barrier foam adhesive (tacky black tar type adhesive) which can allow you to gently pull back or cut (razor blade or similar). If you are considering Dynamat, this is a perfect time to do this (been there, done that).
