I want to remove the right front door panel from my 2009 A4 to investigate a rattle.
Any experience in removing the panel before I start and break some clips.
TIA

this has a bunch of blurry pics... but it's the one I used and it worked fine. I'd get a cheap set of "trim removal" pieces. Unless you have great finesse with a screwdriver which I do not.
The youtube video is ok; it's what I used when I needed to get a panel off one day. But when it comes time to pry the lower half of the door panel from the door, it wasn't particularly clear that you must push away on the prybar (so the end of the bar is pushing the panel fastener towards you). It takes a decent force to pop them. I was trying the other way for more leverage, but once you realize how the clips are built, you see that's not possible. The prybar won't slip under the entire fastener, and you just end up popping the door panel off the fastener, possibly damaging the clips on the panel which the fastener fits into.
