996 Front Underbody lining removal
I recently had to remove the front underbody lining and had difficulty removing the retainer clips.
Is there an easy way to remove them without damaging the clips? Is there a special tool or do people just use a flat ended screw driver ? Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

No offence Dmitry, but there are 60 different tools in that link. Might you narrow it to the tool specifically for the clips the original poster is referring to? They are a PIA to release.

See attached image.
The clip is the standard clip that holds the front lining in place

I use a small flathead screwdriver, like a pocket screwdriver.
Use your thumb to relieve pressure on one side, slide the screwdriver into the slot, pry the locking teeth out enough to release the end of the clip. Once one side is out the other one it easier to release.
