Default hatch struts

Do these things just pop off or is there some kind of retainer clip I'm not seeing. I'm talking about the end that mounts to the car, not the glass. Thanks in advance.

Mine had a retainer clip on both ends, just pops out with a jewelers screwdriver.

Default clips

I've looked over these things until frustration and a small screwdriver caused a tad of damage to one of the struts. Anybody got a pic of this clip so I know what to pry on?? Thanks in advance.
