    How do I remove the front fender flare pieces from my 2009 front bumper? The clips are this type but I can’t budge them and am afraid of breaking them. Seems straightforward enough: press down blue tab and push: but no dice. Blue clip photo from Amazon. Blurry photo from me: had to jam my phone up under the wheel well to take a photo to even see what I was dealing with.

    I just left the fender flares attached to the fender when I removed mine....other wise you've got like a 90% chance of breaking them.

    I’m getting new flares altogether so they need to go bye-bye. Maybe taking the front bumper off will make the tabs easier to access?

    You should able to press the tab down and remove them.

    I have a shit ton of these because I had to buy bulk when doing my front end conversion. LMK if you need some. Just pay postage.
