Many panels or parts do not use screws, bolts or nuts to retain them in position, but instead use clip fasteners. Due to the variety of clip fasteners and removal methods, the correct type of clip fastener, the proper tool and the proper removal procedure can aid in timely and effective removal and installation. Take a look at the variety of fasteners shown and follow the proper procedures for removal and installation.
NOTE: Pay special attention when removing or reinstalling finisher parts. This will help to avoid breaking clips or damaging or marring surfaces. When reinstalling, ensure that clips are securely fitted into the clip grommets, or panel holes in the body, and then press them in securely.
