Auto Trim Removal Tool, Phyles 14 Pieces Door Panel Removal Tools for Dash Center Console Installation and Remover

Overall: Nice solid tools, with plenty of choice. Disclaimer: I generally don't know what I'm doing. Honestly, I really don't. I am not a car mechanic or a detailer. However! I have actually used tools like these before so I do have something to compare them too. If you are in the same situation, hopefully this helps you and sets your mind at ease. First Impressions: They arrived in a plain box with not much presentation - but these aren't really something you'd gift to someone. All pieces were there with none missing or duplicated. They seem as strong, tough and durable as ones I have used before. Design: • I bought these to help fit a dashcam I've just bought - the tools are great at tucking the long wires away, and also useful in fishing the wire out from tight places. • I also take some bits of trim off to wrap with vinyl wrap and again, these are just what you need. • I thought that I would only use about three pieces, but thought it prudent to get the largest kit, since it was cheap anyway. Having said that, there are some pieces in here that are going to be very useful (ones on the bottom row of the picture are chamfered edged and therefore perfect for tucking vinyl wrap). • I'm not a massive fan of the colour. The ones I've used before were blue, and a little bit more palatable. But given the price, beggars cant be choosers! Use: So from the off, these are nice and tough. I made sure nice and early to "test" them - mainly the largest one since I've snapped one of those before. They're strong and tough. Also, like I said, given the sharp edges to some of them, they are perfect for getting into tight gaps - just use a cloth if you're going near the car paint just in case. Longevity: The biggest worry is them snapping. I've already tried somewhat, but they could still break I suppose. Using the one best suited to the job will help. Regardless, and as always, if they fall short and fail or break then I'll come back and update this review.

I used these tools to hide the wiring of a front and rear mini dash cam - which is stuck on the windscreen behind the driver’s mirror - and on the rear screen. I’d previously fitted a SatNav, and concealed its wiring, from the 12v socket to the right side of the windscreen using a combination of flathead screw driver and pointed vegetable knife - not without risk to the trim….or my fingers! But with these tools (I didn’t use all of them) I was able to discretely hide all the dash cam’s wiring above the mirror, round the top of the screen, down the sides, and all the way along the bottom edge under the doors, to the hatch back. They came packed in a plain cardboard box, which fits nicely in the glove box, or in the under seat tray, where they are handy to use quickly. They could also be kept in a small drawstring bag. It would be handy if one was supplied. There is a plug-like connector bit on the rear dash cam cabling which the dogs sometimes knock, pulling the wiring out of the trim so, these strong sturdy plastic tools which do not bend as they are well shaped, continue to be an absolute boon. They certainly save the cost of having these gadgets professionally fitted, and do just as good a job. I have found uses for the tools in the house too. I just wish I’d had them sooner.

I bought these for accessing behind panels in my van. They worked well, although I had fun figuring out which tool worked best for which fasteners. In the end the metal pry tool was a good all round tool. A nice set but unless you are a full time mechanic or car interior fitter, you might find 14 tools a bit of a waste.

have facia and fittings in the car that need removing without leaving scars? awkward areas to get to? this kit has tools to assist in almost every occasion. If it can help me with a french car, it should help in more sensible layouts!

I was having a minor anxiety attack wondering how on earth I was going to remove some bumper trim without snapping the 9 clips that run across it. I wanted to do this as soon as it popped into my head, but a similar kit from Halfords was £16. I decided to wait and find something cheaper on Amazon. Having had this almost a month, I only opened it yesterday. Wow! So many different tools, really well made and very durable plastic. It helps if you can find a guide on the trim you're going to remove so you have an idea of where the clips are. Bearing in mind I can be quite clumsy, these tools absolutely did the job and all clips remained intact. The box contains the loose items, no big deal. The best part is the good quality colour printed guide that tells you which tool is best for the job. Highly recommended piece of kit for very little money.

I bought this set to help remove a difficult aftermarket double din stereo that had been badly fitted to a car i recently bought , the stereo keys are decent that don't bend out of shape after a bit of pressure it was a pity there were only 2 but it's manageable the pry bars are great just enough give in them and not a mark on my Audi's interior , I'm planning on installing a new Dab multimedia system with rear camera etc so they will come in very hand . The only niggle is a roll pouch of some type for storage would have been perfect . Cheap enough Well worth having a set around . Recommended

I use these products for getting a door trim off a car. However the red Plastics are very bendy and not very strong and one broke. They do not give the torque for getting the door clips out of the door . The only really good part is the metal claw which is quite long. However I would not buy these again.

This trim removal tool was used by me (I'm not a mechanic) and they work well and don't leave tool marks on the trim. I looked on line to find out he best way to replace a faulty rear N/s passenger door mechanism on a BMW E90 2006 saloon. The actual faulty part it turns out chews up a nylon gear wheel inside the door lock mechanism and is a common fault on these BMW models apparently. This lock mech is approximately 60cm x 60 cm made of nylon black plastic and the thickness of a BMW door it works electrically of the fob and obviously is fitted behind the trim. I can only speculate at the high cost BMW would charge to supply and fit this door lock as a new item. Even looking at the part it looks expensive. I managed to get a S/H replacement on line for £29.00. So the whole job -now I m at home re the CV 19 restrictions- plus cost of the panel removal tools cost about £40 in total. excluding my time. The tools worked well but you need to look on line -there's plenty of info-to see how to do it. The door panel which is a press fit with nylon peg and friction fasten holes came off quite easily with these tools. It probably took me as a practical novice about 4-5hrs over two sunny days start to finish with a suitable sit down chair to sit on and cups of tea including checking on line instructions.Door looks and works like new too!
