i apologize if this is a stupid question, but how do you remove the circular black plastic clips that attach the carpeted panel on the inside of the trunk lid to the trunk lid? i dont know what they are called, but they are also used on the rear deck and probably on other places of the car.

 

those are just like big screws
twist them off with your hand

 

haha. take a picture of it.

 

There is a Y shaped clip tool you can purchase at most auto parts stores for a few dollars. Other wise grab hold of them and pull.

 

clip removing screw driver thing, or get a screw driver and start prying on both sides till u can pull it off with your hands

 

Or one of those small hammers you buy for women for around the house duty in those cheap kits.
