How to remove these clips?

Hi

I am replacing the parking sensors on my Ford Mondeo, and the old wires are connected to the bonnet via these clips:-

They seem to be one way push, but I can't figure out how to remove the old ones... Any advice?

Thanks

Looks more like it just snaps on and off?

It doesn't seem to want to ungrip, and no parts seem to move. Giving it a pull feels like I will pull the whole mount off the bumper... I might be missing something though :/

The part is Ford Parking Distance Aid Sensor 1819369

Those are single use clips, even if you manage to get them off they'll never clip like new again. Personally I'd use something like these, just make sure you double reinforce the cable with electrical tape to prevent chafing through the cable.
