Topic: How-To: Remove clip from fender liner without destroying it

[jellynuts]

I was installing my new Rally Armor Mudflaps this evening with the help of this DIY vid:  http://www.hspn.tv/?videoid=42

However, at 1:50, the fellow completely destroys one of the clips.  Even though these clips are replaced with screws from the RA Mudflap kit, I'm the type who hates to waste things   Here's how you can avoid destroying the clip, and add yet more useless junk into your pile of parts:



The center of the clip will pop out with a Phillips screwdriver, but if you try to lefty loosen it, the entire clip will rotate.  Dig under the clip with a flat head screwdriver, and position it so that it will resist the movement caused by your Phillips screwdriver.  (You'll need your other hand on the flat head screwdriver, I just needed it free to take the picture). 

And voila!  It should pop open like the other three clips (at 1:13 of the video) for you to remove with relative ease!

Thanks for this! Actually just snapped one of mine and came inside to check of a better way to take them off. Never thought to pinch the back side lol.
