What is the name of this plastic piece?

Hi,
I've got some minor rust build-up under the plastic piece that runs along the bottom edge of the car below the doors. Does anyone know the name of this piece? I'm pretty sure someone on here put a guide together on how to remove this bit of plastic but I can't even search for it without knowing the name of the bit!!! I think that removal is pretty straightforward but the plastic clips on the underside of this piece have got me a bit stumped.

Here's the pic of the area I'm talking about.

Sweet - thanks guys! Sounds easy enough. Great tip re sliding the panel instead of yanking. I'm pretty sure I would have just yanked!!!
