i put some on my 99 hatch. this may not be the best way but it worked for me... i put a towel on the end of a screwdriver and kind of pried away the molding a littlebit, then i put wire underneath it and just yanked it off. then i kind of tapped around the holes to make them flat again. worked for me

The best way is usually the hardest (or most tedious) way. I say just pop them out from the inside door panel. Honda panels are flimsy and you might risk bending them too much by just yanking on them.

i yank mine off from outside and no damage.just do it slow...be careful though the thin molding are metal and bend easily...you have a coupe......those molding for hatch?.......they won't fit on rear fenders right you will have to get it customized and use some body filler.

Don't rush it and rip them off. Take the time and do it right. Remove them from the inside. :goodjob:

insert flat head screw driver, pry off molding..

give me a break. who the fuck wants to remove interior paneling to remove some clips, especially on something you are gonna replace. it's not like the plastic clips is going to bend the metal.

yeah, but it barely does anything to the doors, and it all gets covered or replaced anyway. :dunno:
