Trims and Panels

Which size or type do you need?

For removing trims and interior panels, you can choose between plastic wedges and steel clip removers. Plastic wedges are suitable for delicate surfaces. They do not scratch. Steel clip removers handle tough clips. Check the shape of the clip. A set with different wedges and levers covers most clips.

What goes wrong when ordering?

Many mechanics order a single wedge. That is not enough for a whole panel. You need different shapes. A set with various wedges and levers works quicker. Also check the handle. An ergonomic handle does not slip. This way you work neater than with a screwdriver. A screwdriver damages the panel quickly.

Which standard matters?

There is no fixed standard for this tool. You see the quality in the material. Plastic must be flexible, not brittle. Steel parts must be hardened. This makes them last longer. Choose tools that fit the clip type in your workshop. This way you remove panels without damage.

This tool belongs with body and interior. If you move on to repairing bodywork, take a look at car body repair. If a disc has to come out before you release a panel, use fitting and removing discs. For small dents without painting there is smart repair. And if wiper arms are in the way, the pullers from wiper and wiper arm will help.
