This is such a professionally made video, with excellent narration easy to follow, which takes the mystery out of removing panels. Most people take one look at panels and feel defeated before they begin, wondering how the heck are they put on and how can they be removed? Obviously, when no fasteners are visible, the panels must be held on by internal clips, but knowing where to pry is the question. This video removes much of the mystery and is exactly what I was looking for!

Just watching this video has been the most helpful 8 minutes of any youtube video I've ever watched(which is a lot). That's because, take a Hayne's auto manual for instance. Step 1 will say, "remove the rear console cover." Oooooo K ... easy for them to say. Not so easy for dumb me to do. Now I'm a retired electronic engineer and am an OK but not great mechanic, so understanding what to do is usually manageable for me. But what always gets me is "how to get at things in order to fix them." After watching you it all kinda makes sense, but before watching you ... clueless. Popping stuff off that I can't see how they are fastened really scares me. I wish things just used good old fashioned screws, but I guess they would have a tendency to vibrate loose over time, so that would be an advantage for pop-ons. That being said, I'll never get used to the fear of breaking things by prying on them.

Great video thank you. I recently replaced my dash on my 2013 Chevy Avalanche. It had cracked over time due to sun exposure. When replacing the new dash and having new clips installed, I noticed that the 5 clips that lock into place did not stay in place. I triple checked and made sure everything lined up and it did. The clips were new and properly inserted. However no matter how much I tried to get the clip to stay inserted it would pop up. Of the 5 clips, 2 stayed in pretty well the other 3 wouldn't. Any suggestions to this issue?

Personally I don't mind hearing the engine but the family might lol

I just had my first issue ever with my 08 SS. Has 96,000 miles and had a leaky rear brake caliper. My 07 HHR 2LT had 120,000 on it and only ever had a rear wheel bearing go out. I sound deadened my firewall and the whole car and it sounds great. Though I made a hood vent and love to hear my turbo spool. These cars arent loud, factory exhaust sounds nice.

Finally got a set from Napa. I have such nightmare panels on my 2001 civic. I got a European model and uses really weird clips to hold the door panel. Almost felt impossible even with these tools. Damaged 2 a little bit.they weren't held in place by clips but by sort off locking mechanisms. They are super tight and strong even after 19 years. I almost bent the tip of 2 of these tools it's that tight, I switched to a thicker once I had more space. I got the panel almost off tonight so finish tomorrow. Hope I can get climate control unit out more easily now. Saw a video and the guy popped it out within 5 minutes or so. It took me 45 to get it loose but than ran stuck because it haar cables running to the temperature knobs. None of the videos show that 😭😭😭

I swear, the clips that hold the top of the dash on G3 and G4 Mopar minivans (Voyagers, Town&Countrys, Caravans and probably other Mopar products) are designed to be IMPOSSIBLE to come apart without breaking the pin off the underside of the cover, or the metal clip self-mangles as it separates from the lower section of your dash. In either case, out of about five or six attachment points, you'll be lucky if one or two survive. I can literally see no way to make these release. Squeezing them doesn't help, prying them doesn't help, spreading them doesn't help... They also hold the dash down really tight, so even getting a tool in there is next to impossible to manipulate them, IF you know where they are, and if you can, even if your tool is super thin and flexible, but rigid enough to apply enough pressure to lever the pad up, you stand an excellent chance of the plastic of the pad simply cracking if the pin doesn't rip off the bottom or the metal doesn't mangle, because these tops had to be flat black by default so they didn't create an awful reflection on your windshield, so they absorb a lot of heat in the summertime, and they're all super brittle. The Mopar engineer that designed these should be beaten to death with a bag of frozen donkey dicks.
