u need

1 x needle nose pliers , 10mm spanner or ratchet + a phillips head + flathead screwdriver

(doors)
Put window all teh way down , just remove the door trims + remove door plastic inner , put window up again ~ then remove the end 10mm bolt and "pop" each clip in a row with ur pliers. The last one at the end of the door(towards the front) is hard to reach ,m easier to take out the door speaker.

(rear) take out the side shelves , and speaker if there is one. Pop the clips (x 3 each side) - might need abit of movement for the inner plastic too.

thats it really.

easy to take them off man

On DC's as above , but on EK's + EG's there is a small strip on the front fender too. This takes only 2 x clips either side and is easy to take off.

And , underneath the strips is simply small square holes , and abit of dirt. Its painted underneath dont worry.
