Thanks for the reply mate. That happened to me as well. If I can get the other side off without breaking any I think the 2 sides may have to share a few clips me thinks! 😳 😳 😉

When you have pulled the first corner away in dong so you may break this first clip, get a panel clip removing tool and work your way along the trim popping each clip as you go, a panel clip removing tool looks like a bent screwdriver with a u shape at the end which surrounds the round clip and makes removal simple with out breaking them all, also helps if the trims are warm as the clips are far less brittle.

like the ones I use here also used for the same type clips on inside door trims

morning karl i think best way is to knock them forward with a rubber mallet although i think they are designed to snap 👿
i have ordered some from an auction site will send you the link

good luck

the clips richard has in mind are different but good idea to get the tools for those clips

Hello Derek,
I told the customer they’d broken and I’d get him some new ones and he was fine about it. He says his brother works for a vauxhall dealer so he’s taking it to him. He wouldn’t hear of me paying for them. It makes a change to deal with someone that’s geniune and normal. 😀 I’ll pop a pic on in a bit of the job.
Thanks mate. 😉
