To take the clips off, you really need a panel puller tool. You can also use 2 screw drivers. Get a shop towel to prevent you from damaging the paint, and pull the molding out, starting at the rear (because itll be loose from taking the nut off) and locate the first clip. Using the shop towel to protect the paint, slide the screw driver down until it hits the top of the clip. The slide the second screw driver up from the bottom until it hits the bottom of the clip. Then pull the molding out again, holding the lower screw driver with your knee or something, and pushing down on the top one until you feel the little clip pop out. Then do the same thing for the bottom one, but dont let the molding go back tight to the body before you get the bottom clip out or you have to start over.Its way easier with a long thin panel puller tool since you can snag both ends of the clip at the same time and just pull it out. You can also just rip the panel off and break the clips, but i wouldnt recommend it, theyre expensive as [freak]. I just bought 8 from honda and it cost 22 bucks. Its about the same online, i think theyre are 1.50 a clip from hondapartsdeal.com.And you cant get to them from inside the door, unless you cut a hole and took out your impact bar.
