Removing 4th gen wind deflectors

Popped to the car today, was hoping to remove the wind deflectors, peeled back the door seal and saw little retaining screws, didn't have the keys to let the window down, removed one of the screws but it didn't seem to free the deflector up.

What's the easiest way of doing it?

Thanks.

you need to wind the window down to remove the deflectors - you can access the screws on the inside of the deflectors and pop the rivet out of the end clip -take the deflector off and then peel back the door rubbers and remove the screws from the door frame and then pull all the clips out. Doing it any other way will mean breaking the deflectors which you dont want to do

(Out of interest, how on earth did keys end up in Italy with the car in the UK?!)

The cars at his dads farm and he's got the keys so it could be moved. I doubt they are actually with him but I couldn't get them, plus the battery will be flat and he's parked it, like a dufus, nose into the barn!!!! I didn't have a great deal of time to be messing around.
