Trunk liner

What's the best way to get the little tabs out to remove the trunk liner. I tore one up trying to get it out. Don't want to do that to the rest. A screwdriver lifts it up but what's the trick to get it out clean????

You will need a trim tool, they can be bought at your local auto parts store. This is what they look like.

The plastic trim removers from harbor freight work too.

Spend the money on the tool it will pay for its self in the amount of broken clips you won't have to by!

This!

I have used them many times. I think I got a whole set for under 15 dollars. Cheap and worth it for sure!
