any tips? i think i will have to ask a friend who has more experience on cars...

I prefer an Xacto knife blade to a paperclip (if I don't have a proper pin popper). The tab that you are lifting is only in about 1/4". lift the pin lock tab and insert the blade in as shown below. I like to angle the blade towards the metal of the pin to get the blade to go on the correct side of the plastic tab (it is very easy to go above it, which makes it impossible to pull the pin). Once the blade is in position, lift the tip away from the metal pin and you will hear a slight click from the plastic tab. At that point the pin will easily slide out the back of the connector.
