I don't think there is and you will probably brake a few clips (I did anyway) and the thing is a bit loose now probably because as well as the broken clips they also have a less support.
Just be patience and pull it off gently one by one .... best advice I can give anyway ...

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Mine came off and went back on without breaking, I had to lie underneath and remove the sill part first, then there were some bolts and expanding rivets before the arches would pop off.
I likely slid a credit card between the arch and wing, then used a flat screwdriver to pop the fasteners.
The arch is stuck with a sort of double sided foam to keep water from running down the wing behind it. Mine isn't now :blink:
