Plastic slide rivet puller source
 
Any idea where I can findthe claw pincher pliers that help remove those plastic slide rivet/clips that are used to mount panels to the body?

Heck a small flat head screw driver & your fingers will do the job. :cool:

YMMV

I have had more shop guys tell me they break more clips with those tools than with a screw driver! :eek:

Harbor freight also carries these tools

Just to clarify how to do this for the OP, just lightly pry on the center piece until it pops up, then you can pull them out with your fingers.

HTH
