Have you tried to jack the car up? It'll give you more room to work with and get hold of a tack lifter that'll help get those pesky plastic pins out...

It's tricky bit doable. I did this recently with different long nose pliers and flat head screwdrivers to start the pin coming out Also a tack remover helps but need the correct angle.

Flat head screwdriver and strong fingernails will do it
