Thanks for the nuance. Now, for everyone else, get your panels and trim off and take a damn picture either for you or the next owner. What incredible value to know exactly what's behind the curtain.

You get right to the point without a 5 minute preamble. Good job!

Can't tell you how many clips I've broken over the years of removing panels on my cars. I could have used this video 40 years ago. Thanks for sharing.

This is such a professionally made video, with excellent narration easy to follow, which takes the mystery out of removing panels. Most people take one look at panels and feel defeated before they begin, wondering how the heck are they put on and how can they be removed? Obviously, when no fasteners are visible, the panels must be held on by internal clips, but knowing where to pry is the question. This video removes much of the mystery and is exactly what I was looking for!

One of the better instructional videos on KZfaq. Nice job and than you!

I feel braver now. I hate it when I break stuff when I'm trying to fix somethng. Thank you

very nice, thanks for not wasting 30 minutes telling how you grew up ... straightforward, excellent examples, good camera work and sound was good. Other examples like getting into a dash, instrument cluster, radio/infotainment, etc. would be great!

Thanks! Great video for exactly what I was looking for

Great video. You were kind, pleasant, quick and very informative with no wasted time. I learned much. Thank you.

Had to replace a seatbelt in my car, this video helped a lot in locating the connection points and possible set screws. Thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for. Great video, thanks! I have my trim tool removal kit, now I'm ready to head out to my car.

The best and most intelligent way to use panel removal tools video I've seen.

Thanks! Straight to the point! No rambling!

Nice video. Right to the point without abrasive electric guitar riffs. All of this is impossible though. It's best to throw out the car and get one with what you want already done to it.

I love your heart dude. What you said at the end about sharing knowledge and helping each other out is awesome. Keep it up man

Super helpful! So glad I found this! Going to finally get those kick panels off! Thanks!

Very useful and professionally done video. I am soon going to remove many interior panels on my MX-5 to replace Bose amplifier. I feel a bit more confident now.. Thanks!

This did have value to me, at 70 I am just getting back into wrenching and a few things have changed a bit. Thanks

Thanks for the tips on pry tools & how to use them. I have a small dent that may have been caused in a parking lot-not there before, was there when I came back. If I can remove the interior panel under the dent, I can fix it myself. Thanks for the demonstrations. 🔧🚙

One of the most helpful vids around. Excellent description on the process ,thanks

Nice work! I'm glad to see you making videos again.

Thank you so much, you've given me the confidence to install my reverse camera and run the wires through the cills :) Thank you!

been waiting for a video like this after watching car audio youtube for years

Excellent! Super helpful, and-it worked!

Good vid, man.

Great job. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Super awesome useful. You hit on just what I needed to know! Gracias.

Thanks! Getting ready to hardwire a dash cam, and this was very helpful.

i’ve literally been looking for a video where someone does a 2017 elantra and does the panel around the shifter!!! tysmmmm

Thank you for the demonstration video, it provided me with useful information... 👨‍🔧

Fantastic video!!! One of the things that I like about your channel is that you don't use PROFANITY like others You-Tubers. Buen video!

Smooth operator I say! Very helpful, thanks for posting

Thank you for an informative video!

Great video for beginners

Thank you, well described and in a good manner too.

Thanks to this video I finally got my shifter console out ed. Thx pal

Great video, great explanation

Awesome video Ed!!

Very good advice - inspect, feel around and simply try to pop it without breaking it.

Great video. Thank you.

GREAT VIDEO !!! THANKYOU SO MUCH !!!

Very helpful, thank you!

you're awesome man, thanx

That was a great video, thank you!

Very useful!! Thanks man!

Very helpful, looks fun.

Thank you for your video this will make my life a bit easier, I really meant a hole lot easier

Just watching this video has been the most helpful 8 minutes of any youtube video I've ever watched(which is a lot). That's because, take a Hayne's auto manual for instance. Step 1 will say, "remove the rear console cover." Oooooo K ... easy for them to say. Not so easy for dumb me to do. Now I'm a retired electronic engineer and am an OK but not great mechanic, so understanding what to do is usually manageable for me. But what always gets me is "how to get at things in order to fix them." After watching you it all kinda makes sense, but before watching you ... clueless. Popping stuff off that I can't see how they are fastened really scares me. I wish things just used good old fashioned screws, but I guess they would have a tendency to vibrate loose over time, so that would be an advantage for pop-ons. That being said, I'll never get used to the fear of breaking things by prying on them.

Nice job, thank you. And if you don't have panel pops, two flat head screwdrivers, one either side of the clip, do a great job.

Hey bro. EXCELLENT HOW TO VIDEO!!!!! Thank you.

Very helpful..thank you so much

thanks for the video. Any help on removing the back interior panel ? lexus gx470 (left side) I was trying to fix a leaking in the left roof rail and a holder for the back part of the roof rack felt inside the rear panel. Thanks

I needed this to stop breaking lock tabs...

Very good

Nice guy, nice vid :)

Perfect :)

Great video thank you. I recently replaced my dash on my 2013 Chevy Avalanche. It had cracked over time due to sun exposure. When replacing the new dash and having new clips installed, I noticed that the 5 clips that lock into place did not stay in place. I triple checked and made sure everything lined up and it did. The clips were new and properly inserted. However no matter how much I tried to get the clip to stay inserted it would pop up. Of the 5 clips, 2 stayed in pretty well the other 3 wouldn't. Any suggestions to this issue?

Loving the intro lol

Two thumbs up.

I lost my USB in my dads Van that has allll my work on it and it’s due on Friday so thank you I hope it works

thx

Thanks...

been missing u bro

I just received my panel popper kit. I have a Buick lacrosse 2012 and I'm trying to replace the 6x9's in the back. How do I know which poppers to use for each panel!?

Hi Ed, just wondering where I can purchase panel pop tools as shown in your video? Thanks, Kim.

Any tips on working on a vehicle that is almost 30 years old (93 ZJ) - some of the clips are brittle, etc. Always concerned if I break a clip won't be able to replace. Is there anything that can help 'soften' the clips so they aren't so brittle? Thanks

So I'm the elenrea near the gear shift that sliding door I think my bank card slide behind it. Any ideas on how to open that little door ams get back there ?

cheers bud

Can you please show how to remove steering wheel for Hyundai Accent, it doesn't have any screws..

SparkedEd, any chance you know how to remove the silver molding piece that runs across the whole center of the dash ? Its shiny enough to reflect sunlight and blind me. I'd like to take it off and plasti dip it.

I'm not a professional car repair. Just need sometimes to fix my car. Just think which one should I buy, the metal one or the plastic ones? The metal ones 3 times more expensive. Any advice?

Can you please make a video on how to put the panels back on?

bro.... the side panel that the seat belt comes out of is detaching ... can u use a mallet??? if not, what can i do

I'm a certified panel popper now.

Hi, what is the name of the interior panel in the footwell that you remove at 7:36?

Hey man I've been going through your channel watching alot of your HHR builds I was wondering how reliable this car is since I plan on buying an 08 HHR SS also did the sound deadening reduce road noise and would it be possible to sound deaden the firewall so you don't hear the engine as much? Personally I don't mind hearing the engine but the family might lol

I have an 07 Hyundai accent 3-door hatchback ........there is NO info online how to remove the side panels, thats where the blown speakers are. Ive tried pulling them and theres no screws or grommets at all. - Just about desperate and feel like giving up kinda. - Anybody have any advice. 3 door Accent hopw to get to the backseat speakers, anyone?

I need that “door well panel”, but for my car, mine is also attached to the outside “kickstep” with the metal Hyundai plate insignia on it. Whats the general name for that panel on all cars so I can find mine? Floor panel, door frame panel etc...?

Do you have to use a Panel wrench like you have? Or can you just use hands and pry at the spots

Who remembers the Hummer build wit the Rockford amps on the roof

Finally got a set from Napa. I have such nightmare panels on my 2001 civic. I got a European model and uses really weird clips to hold the door panel. Almost felt impossible even with these tools. Damaged 2 a little bit.they weren't held in place by clips but by sort off locking mechanisms. They are super tight and strong even after 19 years. I almost bent the tip of 2 of these tools it's that tight, I switched to a thicker once I had more space. I got the panel almost off tonight so finish tomorrow. Hope I can get climate control unit out more easily now. Saw a video and the guy popped it out within 5 minutes or so. It took me 45 to get it loose but than ran stuck because it haar cables running to the temperature knobs. None of the videos show that 😭😭😭
