Reddit reviews Cal-Hawk Door Panel (Upholstery) Remover

You should definitely invest in a door puller/clip puller and buy extra clips. I used a screwdriver the first time and it sucked so much this time around I spent 5 bucks at Walmart and picked up a door puller and it made life so much easier. You just work the head of the clip lose enough to fit the puller and it pops right out. Sadly I
don't have tips for the headlight tabs since I broke most of them off. Here's one similar to mine.

Some conservative criticism

Proper panel removal tools will make life a lot easier and can prevent possible damage.

That ground looked questionable. Hard to tell if any cleaning of the paint/primer over that stud was done prior to install. But the rear package tray isn't a terribly substantial part of the car to being with. You want to ground to clean bare metal that is a substantial structure in the car. With the battery having been that close the factory ground point should have been readily available. The negative terminal on the battery would have been acceptable too.

The routing of the bass knob cable was just lazy. It takes very little time and effort to remove the rear seat bottom and route the wire that way with the factory runs.


Other that that, not to bad.
