The ones on the door are sort of 'welded' on by means of melting plastic studs when they are originaly installed at the supplier. You could carefully x-acto knife the melted part away off the back side but I'm not sure how you'd get them to stay on after you re-do the fabric, hot melt glue or short screws (carefull). Anyone else?

when i recovered mine i just left the door panels on. I got my fabric and some spray adhesive. Cut the fabric to the shape leaving about an inch to an inch and a half more. Spray the adhesive on to the material on the door, and lay the new fabric over the material. One it is in place just tuck the corners in behind it. I used 2 paint can openers to do this, and it turned out great.
