Removing trim clips
« on: July 22, 2011, 04:00:50 am »
I have about 30 some odd clips along the trim line on the front fenders back to the back of the bed, but I dont know how to remove them. I got one off by brabbing it with vice grips and turning it, but couldnt get the five others I tried to come off. How are they supposed to be.removed?

Do you mean the welded clips on the door etc

A picture with arrows might help!

best advice for you is to take a door panel off and take a good look at what is holding them on
