Does anyone know an easy way to remove the wheel well liner clips without ruining them or your liner

You can buy replacement clips for a good price at GMDIESELTECH.com,its probably agood idea to keep a few extra,as far as the liner never took mine out.

Just pull the center section out first then the rest of the clip will come out easy.

And to pull the center section out you can try a small screwdriver under the lip to get it started and then use some needle nose pliers.

I use 2 flat screwdrivers to pry the pin up and out, then pull the body out. Haven't broke one yet (knock on wood)

I start with a screwdriver and then use side cutters to grip under the head. Be sure not to cut.

When I reinstall the pin in I use a little glob of silicone grease and it really helps removing them at a later date.
