it takes around 3 mins to remove these with a sharp knife.. another 5 mins to clean the old sticky part off.. and less than 1 min to stick them back on again with double sided sticky tape

Maplins do a very good double-sided tape which I used on mine - slightly spongy/rubbery so covers clips nicely.

Double Sided Foam Tape

Yep, that's a great way to get them off very easily.
