Default Remove rear window struts

Is there an easy way to remove the rear window struts to replace them ??
I haven't taken on off in years and I thought there was just a clip that had
to be removed, along with the rear defroster connection.

There is a clip for the rear de-icer.Some also have a small clip that secures the strut to the ball.The strut should come off with removing it, but you can remove it with a small flat screwdriver. I replaced mine doing one at a time with out trouble.
