Wheel well lining removal - clips or push button??

[Jason1145]

Anyone know how to remove these clips holding the lining on from inside the wheel well?

A couple of flat head screwdrivers eased under the opposite edges of the central button should get this moving. It should reveal a plastic pin with a flat top. Once these are removed completely the outer button should ease out.

I find a squirt of ArmourAll helps ease these clips out without too much fuss.

Good luck.

You need one of these:

Use a screwdriver and your more than likely to snap them in half. (been there done that!)

I get my small wire cutters under the center pin and ease out then flat blade or steel rule under the larger diameter.

Thanks for the tips guys that answers that question.
If this is a push in plug part do you reckon a screw can be used in its place to hold the mud flap on?

If you mean replacing the center part then yes

Id just use the correct parts rather than a screw. available for just over a quid from any autoparts shop.

If I can use the supplied screw that will come with it I will use it, I just meant I wasn't sure if there is any depth of material for a screw to "thread" itself into and bite - behind that lining wall?
