Grab that trusty plastic pry tool and start popping off the faceplate. Begin at the top near the bumpers and work down each grip—like peeling a banana, but way cooler.. You may like to remove the magnetic thumb sticks for more clearance.

The clips are quite sturdy and you shouldn't be afraid to be firm with removing the faceplate to dislodge the clips. Give it a good, firm push to dislodge them. There are four clips down each grip and there is also dampening tape which isnt an IP requirement and wont need replacing.
