HI screw991le -
I use a plastic pie-server/fork thingy - it looks like a plastic knife with a round nose -
All you need is a tool to pry with that won't cut or mar the panel -
Once you get one or two of the clips popped, then you can ust use your hand to get between the door and the beauty panel and pop off the rest.
best regards -

ive never used the tool on the vette i just used the how posted above my first time, be prepared to pull effin hard if the panels have never been off before. when it finally comes loose you will think stuff is brakin its loud when the pins release the first time.
