How to remove kick panel vinyl?

Hey team!

My PO installed Dean's interior kit from DatsunParts.com, but well before he should have.

Any idea how to remove the mounting pins at the kick panels and rear shelf side panels? They look like a rivet head, but there is actually a twist along the length of the shank, maybe 1/2 of a turn over the 3/4" length.

My first guess is to use brute force, but hopefully you have a better idea!

Regardless of what kind of fastener that is, I highly recommend a trim removal tool. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, some come in "variety" sets. I have one like this.....
