it looks like youd push the pin out them push the whole thing through to the other side

**corn_flakes** · 28-01-2007 06:36 PM

yes, but how do i reach behind that whole thing? when i'm trying to remove it from the outside? lol

unless i have to take everything out but that last?? doesn't seem right.

it looks like just pop them in and they will either fall through to the ground or you will be able retreive them after the plastic is removed

u can't pop them through, it has to be removed from the outside...hmm

and no i can't push that little circle in the middle...it just breaks and has no purpose...lol

You broke the clip...

Now the only way is to put a flat head under the locking lip and wank it out.. It will be hard because the locking screw is holding it in place.. After which, you better go get some new ones...

i didn't break the clip...i just put a small hole through that little circle part...the clip is still fine

who here has removed their inner fender guard? and how did u get that clip out?

why do you need to remove that rear clip anyway? ie what is the work you are doing on the car?

If you want to access the area behind the bumper you don't need to remove the rear clips - just the ones at the front and leave the guard hanging whilst you work in that area.

edit - we had that clip off when the side skirts were installed on my car. Have you tried getting to that clip once the bottom part being held by "B" is removed. Ie reach from behind.

My bad, that one is abit tricky, you have can only remove it from the inside of the guard..

Only thing is.. the hole is not supposed to look like the photo...you are supposed to see a clip of sorts through it...

Start from the front of the bumper and work your way back through... You might have to pull the panel out abit to get the guard out. If you can get your hand to it from the underneath, it's better...

Could I just casually ask why you want to remove that?
