    Practice at a wrecker? They are all held in with plastic clips, often with metal retainers over them. The only way to learn is trial and error.

    You can buy trim removal sets from auto stores, which will allow you to prise the clips out more easily - but it's easier to show someone than it is to explain.

    Just try to feel where something is being held on, and prise it away from a point as close to the clip as possible.

    Just take your time as the plastic does get very brittle with age

    I had to use bits from 4 different wagons at the wreckers the same colour to get a set that was intact and complete and a couple of the original bits in my wagz did break when I was removing them

    Once it's changed over though it's well worth it, just wondering why Holden didn't use the same colour trim pieces throughout some of the cars though as mine was a real mismatch of colours until I was able to source trim all the same colour when I was updating the interior
    If ignorance is bliss why aren't there more happy people around ?
