Hood Liner Fastners
For those who have painted your hood liners.
Did the clips that hold it in place come out clean or did you break some? Did you use a tool or just lever them out with a screwdriver?
I'd like to smarten up the liner but I just need to know if I need spare clips before I do the job
Thanks

All the ones above my exhaust manifold broke... I didn't really take much care in ripping em out. I'm sure if you had the proper "tool" they may have come out without breaking.
FYI I got repalcements at Advance Auto for cheap... If you need em, I can get some for you...

I used a claw hammer to gently pry mine out the first time. I didn't break any. I broke two recently when I removed the liner for cleaning and to touch up some water damage.
Thanks to forum member GTC for giving me a bag of replacements.

Dave I did mine last month and didn't break any while removing them with a Bar B Que fork (where you keep the paint) for a tool. but replaced them (there are 15) with new ones bought from the dealer for roughly $1 each.

I spent 13 years in Europe with two different Vettes, that's why I offered to get you the parts!
