After having about a 70% clip removal success ratio, I'm wondering if there is any tactics or suggestions when removing basic clips around the prelude to prevent from snapping them.
ie) twisting, turning, pulling this way or that way, etc. etc.

I'm using a clip removal tool.

thx, interested in hearing~

 

dude...there are a ton of different kinds of clips...lol

Which kind are you talking about?

 

mgags dont dude me! i've been up for 39 hours! jk. anyways...

for example...
1.) under the hood, you have 7 push pin type clips holding that top plastic gril below your wiper arms.

2.) large door panel has like 4 bottum clips, and lifts from the top, any good ways to deal with this stuff...or just be gentle?

i wasn't trying to spark a big convo, just wondering if theres techniques around or its just a basic GO and hope it doesn't break in half and fall down in your door, etc. lol.

 

it seems that everytime i take off my bumper a clip or two breaks off. right now i'm on my last clip. my bumper is officially clipped on by one bolt and one clip! chyah. is there any place cheaper that sells these clips? i heard the stealerships are a ripoff. go figure?

 

get your clips at majestic honda man.. i ordered... they arrived fast and look great! only 77 cents a piece.

 

77 cents for one clip? dont they sell them in bulk anywhere? and which kind did you buy. is it the one you pry the center or screw ? etc

 

77c a clip sounds about right....its not that much lol

There is no blanket statement on how to remove these things w/o breaking them, but just be careful, its thin plastic.

 

go to auto zone advanced and oriellys they have the "Help" sections or whatever its called and I saw some clips there before.
