Body Clips

Post by TheNiceLips »

Hi everyone,

Long story short, I need to remove and replace the exterior body paneling on my '99 SE. Does anyone know how to interact with the body moulding clips (P/N: 25630329) seen below?

Thanks in advance...

You have the part number. Google located several hits for me.
Seems easy enough. What's the issue? Price?

No, I'm trying to figure out how the actual molding attaches to these clips - and how to remove the molding from a car.

if there is no rust, I just pull and break the clips and replace them - just watch for the small screws that may be on the edges

once you break 1 or 2 , you can see how they mount both to car and molding

Sorry, I read that too fast. Yeah, just buy some to have
on hand cause you will break them. Like a lot of auto
manufacturer's designs, for ease of installation only.
