Trim removal tool

Over the years, I've broken off more of those little plastic trim studs than I care to remember

As I want to remove all of the door panels in the 110 (sound and rust proofing), it seems worthwhile getting the proper tool for the job.

So, does anybody have any recommendations for something that's good and cheap, or alternatively good and expensive but worth the cost? Darren

+1, does the job. Only complaint is that it could do with a thinner leading edge to get under the caps more easily. Usually end up starting them off with a small screwdriver to prize them away from the door card, then switch to this to actually get them out. 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

Thanks chaps

I think I'll start with Poms' suggestion before moving onto Snap-on tools for this particular application

The problem is different clips need different tools in this case one size does not fit all

As a rule do not re use clips
