Default Need Help removing sill plate

I had to order a new sill plate because mine got some cleaning solution spilled on it and put spots that won't come off. Here is a link of pic of what I am talking about. It's only the drivers side I need to remove.

Its held in by three PINCH CLIPS. Look on the bottom of the new one. All you need to do is prY it straight up and it will pop out and slide it rearward.

Thanks Bill. I was hoping that is how it was held in place.
