I found a picture that @Skyliner33 Posted to be very useful in allowing me not to break the trim on my rear tailgate wiper cover (as he unfortunately did)
Would a thread with pictures of where trim panel clips are around the van be useful to anyone?
I'll start with the wiper cover again.

Use of one of these tools got it off with no damage..

Good idea, might be worth saying what trim level and model you have if you post any info as I'm sure that there are big differences between all the available variations.
 
Panels on the sides of the dashboards.
Using a plastic thin wedge tool lift the front part of the panel where it meets the rubber seal first, there are a couple of angled clips top and bottom that Have to come out first.

Glovebox removal.. Need to take the vents either side off to get at a couple of clips on each side AND remove the retaining screw that holds it in underneath, then it should just pull (hard) out.

I have also broken the piece of plastic trim off the back of the drivers seat :/

They all clip into the headlining. Here are the clips visible on mine

Hi

Can anyone please tell me how to to remove the piece of trim below the radio ? ( where the air con dials etc..are)
 
you need to take the surround around the radio off first, see one of my posts above, then you can access the panel below that and see where the clips are from above.
 
If I recall correctly, there was not a lot of movement available on that panel, I never removed it completely, there may have been something keeping it tied in.

I'll be very careful then, i was wanting to remove that piece and also the radio trim so i can get them wrapped
 
Can anyone tell me if the bumper insert that fits here, above the fog light will just pull out or does it need to be unclipped after removing the whole front bumper?
