Hi All,

 

I'm changing my boot struts today but come stuck on the clips that hold the struts to the boot. Looking at all the videos online, it looks super simple, stick a screwdriver in, loosen the clips and pull them off. In practice that didn't happen, they seemed to come loose but only partially on one side and ended up in a right mess. It's now stuck on one side, the lower portion you can barely see as it's been cut down but it's still hooked on so I'm at a stalemate.

 

Anyone have any bright ideas? All help appreciated

Mine pulled up about 1/4 inch and then released from the ball.  I think my old struts are still in the garage so may have some spare clips I could post if needed.  PM me if needed

The clips come with the new struts, you cannot buy the clips on their own

I don't need new clips, my new struts have new clips with them.....the existing clips are stuck, that's the issue I'm trying to solve
