the side moldings are a bitch to get off without breaking the clips. i used a butter knife and slid it behind the molding clips use one knife on top and one on bottom and got most of the clips out without breaking them but i did still break a few. good luck

Use two flexible putty knives. One at the top and one at the bottom.

hell no its easy i figured it out, they spin. Take the one bolt off of the door for the moulding. If you slide it, not sure which way but the clips will spin and you wont break even one of them.

The bumpers you just take the turns out of the front unbolt the 2 12mm bolts, take the bolts out of the fender well and it will come off, the rear you go inside the car and there is 2 bolts under the plastics and there is 2 bolts under the car hidden behind plastic covers.

i used two flatheads... you can kinda pry in there and see where the clip is, then slide one directly above/below that and the clip will pop right now. I somehow managed to put my BRAND NEW mouldings in the wrong doors and didn't realize it until I closed the doors and they didn't line up so I had to do this twice.

If you take the inside interior door skin off, you can push the clips through from the inside without breaking them.
