How to Remove Clips from the Door Panel

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Car door

Video tutorial

In this video, see the issue of clips that haven't detached with the side door panel: one solution could be to remove them with pliers, but this may easily break them, and ordering replacements can be very costly. The YouTuber suggests removing them with a string or a thick wire.

Using a small screwdriver or a thin plastic spatula (recommended tool as it won't scratch the bodywork), lift one side of the clip, then thread the wire underneath, cross it over, and pull from both sides while simultaneously pulling towards you. This way, the clip will come out without breaking, and you won't exert too much effort.
