yep there is a trick .
If you push the bottom forward , it will release the bottom clip . push up and it will release the top 2 clips , then pull down and release the sail panel .
problem is , installing it back on the clips is next to impossable ... and I have never been sucessfull in removing the clips with out breaking them .
http://www.toyotafiberglass.com/4runner.htm has clips way cheeper then the dealer

Thanks for the info.
Doing fiberglass rear quarter install. I already have the clips.

I've seen it done before, so I knew there must be a trick.

Yep, push forward on the bottom to release the bottom clips then push up to release the top clips. I found the drip rail on the roof precluded raising the panel high enough to free he clips fully, but was able to pop them loose with a little pressure. I re-used all the clips by lightly gluing them into the panel:
Also replaced all the rubber flaps on the vent with some pieces of rubber inner tube cut to fit:
