removing plastic fender liner without destroying the clips?

***ErichPryde*** · 12-16-2007, 02:15 PM

this is not meant to be any sort of a permanent thread, but I'd like to know if anyone has a suggestion on how to remove the clips holding the fender liner in place without totally destroying them (I want to re-use them if possible).
I can install my own IMG, but these clips are owning me.

any help would be appreciated.

i just used a flat head screwdriver to pop em out. or u can hit a curb like i did and rip it straight off.

the two part ones come out easy
the one parters are a pain i just but them in bulk and replace them
they are only about a buck a piece

yup...flathead works best...ive taken out a few times now and have always been able to replace them...you just gotta go easy on em and theyll be fine

I think there's a tool you can buy that removes them

yeah.... I'm trying to take off my fender well shield. some of the one piece ones are a pain to do. the two piece ones I have figured out.

honda mounted the HFP lip kit over some of the existing two-piece ones...

if THEY ever needed to change one of my headlights, they would have had a problem...

I hit a cone while autocrossing and somehow totally ripped off my fender well liner, and at the same time, ripped out my ballast for my HID's, losing it on the track. FML
