Default Replacing Plastic Inner-Fender Liners (wheel wells)???

Anyone ever replace their liners on a '98-'02 F-body?

Anything special that should be noted before doing this? Like hidden clips, etc.?

My main concern: The little black plastic pin type thing that holds the liner to the fender on the outside edge, behind the front tire. It's not a screw, and frankly I'm not sure how you pull it without damaging it. Any tips?

Thanks.

X2, if you can save them good, but you can probably go to your local part store and get every clip you need new for no more than couple of bucks. Plus new ones will hold tighter than the used ones.

Ok, but how many clips are there? I thought it was just one on each side, because the rest look like normal screws. Are there some hidden ones somewhere?

Thanks.
