Interior door panel clips

well, taking panel off to replace speakers, broke a good amount of the clips, is there a better way to do this and not break clips? I just sorta went around and felt the clips and pryed back a bit with a screw driver.

I don't want to do this to other door too.. Lol

 

There is a tool just for that so you dont break so many. Id bet a cheapo could be found on Amazon or maybe even your local chain parts store...

 

I am aware, but I'd like to know if there's a way without this tool. I'm sure somebody here knows a way to do it a better way without tool.

 

It could just be that they are old. The plastic seems to get brittle over time.

 

yeah. those retainers aren't designed to be removed. ever. the tool itself isn't even made to remove them without them breaking. you're better off doing what your doing and replacing them. autoparts stores typically have them though.
