'Where The Clips Are' thread...

This has got to rank as a useful thread! Love @Grim Reaper’s contributions. I feel the need for a guide coming on
 
Rear aux heater cover, this is from a Shuttle but I think it’s the same cover on other specs with the rear heater. The cover is quite hard to get off but comes away with a good sharp tug from the bottom left then the remaining 3 clips are easier.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this post, but can anyone advise on how to remove the two chrome trims on the T6.1 upper front grill and the plastic one on the lower grill without breaking clips? I would like to wrap mine for colour accent
 
@Grim Reaper thanks for the info. The main reason for asking the question is because my van is a 6.1 and I didn’t know whether there are differences from the 6. I cannot find aftermarket strips for the 6.1, apart from a chrome lower strip at £119!
 
T6.1 Kombi with rear heater blower assembly.
Three types of clips.
Use a forked trim tool to release the compression clips. Try not to just pull away by hand as the plastic mounts are weak.

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?

i will be removing the front bumper soon to replace the fog light surrounds with gloss ones, I will post pics up of this when i have it off.
 
Thanks so much for this thread!! I'm in the process of taking down the cab headlining so I can sound proof it. Is there any more than just 2 screws in the ceiling light? I've taken out the light unit and unclipped the wires but I'm wondering if I need to actually remove the plastic suround to find more screws or will it come out still attached? I think I just need to loosen the a and b pillars now and it will come down? (Done the sun visors, glasses holder and roof grab handle screws already. Attached pic of light unit if that might be helpful to anyone else.PXL_20220421_193643644.jpg
 
centre unit/light in cab roof headlining. So I have answered my own question. For anyone who needs to know. You pop out the light bulb cover, undo the screws, pull out the light module and then unclip the white plastic bit behind and you will find two more screws to move.
