Given that each of these stickers is pinned at the top, they'll each
flop from front to back as you're setting the action frame back on
the key frame. But there's no reasonable way that an individual
sticker will find some thing to jam against and snap off. Be they in
front or in back of the rocker windows, all you have to do (once the
action frame is fastened again on the keyframe) is lift up under an
individual rep to get the sticker to dangle above the rocker pin it
needs to be fitted to. Yes, all 88 of them.
Do back the split birds-eye screw off a half a turn when you remove
them, and don't forget a moderate tightening on reinstallation. But
not too much: you'd hate to strip the wood thread here. I take care
of a similar vintage Miller 9' at a nearby church, but I can't
remember whether bushing cloth stays with the rocker pin or lifts out
with the split birds-eye.
