Anybody ever use one of these? I need to remove my door panels but I don’t want to break the clips.

just be careful when you work with the clips. If you break some, a bag at the dealer is just ~$5, cheaper than the tool....

it just amazes me that people are so blinded by the concept of saving and yet they spend more money on unnecesary stuff...

 

meh, they look pretty hard to break. they're pretty thick.

 

A large screwdriver w/ masking tape on tip to protect paint. Pry as close to the retainer as possible. Once you can get your fingers under the panel, you can remove w/o the screwdriver. If any retainers are broken, replace them w/ new to get a tight secure door panel.

good luck

 

I think I broke 1 or 2, oh well. Maybe ill just stop at the dealers when I eventually put the damn thing back on. Dont waste your money on that 'tool'

 

You really don't need the tool, a flat head or your hand works just as well

 

i used my hand, i think when i took it apart it was missing acouple clips, but as long as you have the ones on the ends and 1 in the middle it'll be alright.

 

never took mine off yet but i will have to soon.. xD
