Default WeatherStrip Question

I am finishing up the weatherstrip on my 93 LT1. The weatherstrip around the front windshield has a couple of plastic pins inserted to hold the weatherstrip in place. Do those just pry out???? Are they reusable???? New pins did not come with the new weatherstrip from Wilcox. Thanks.

They pry right out, use a knife or small screw driver on each side and you can reuse them if you are careful pulling them out.

I used small needle nose pliers and reused mine.

The special tool to remove them is like a wide screwdriver with a curved blade with a split in the middle.
