To remove the center windstop, just pull up on each lever while pushing down on the windscreen (towards the ground) and back towards the rear of the car. Do this for each side, and it will pop right out.

To pull out the wheel centercaps, just use a wire clothes hanger and insert into the hole and pluck out the cap.

My center caps don't have holes. If yours are of the same variety, you'll have to remove each wheel and pop out the center cap from the inside. It's a pain, but owning these kind of caps (and buying replacement ones without holes) makes them far harder to steal, which is common.

And on the center windscreen, do be very careful with those clips. They are very tender when new and as they age, they always seem to break inside. When you get it off have a good look at both to see if they're intact or not. It would not surprise me if one or both of yours is broken.

If the thing rattles when you drive with the top down, one or more is broken. And yes, they can be replaced inexpensively if you purchase them through Sunset Imports in Oregon.
