It's the only thing I bought from Austral Land Rover. They are slightly different to the originals.

I would say they are fairly brittle but if you are careful you should be ok. A very small press in the centre and they should move (depress) about 3 mm and you can extract them.

Don't push too hard otherwise they will be lost in the frame of the car.

sweet, ill give it a go getting them out now and see how I go,

I know supercheap has something similar, guess its worth a try, worst case ill go to Austral on Monday when I'm over that way

Thanks Heaps

They aren't the problem as much as the 3 clips that go into the pillar that are on the front of the plastic cowl. Be gentle removing it. As for the clipsyou mentioned, pop into the closest panel shop and they should be able to supply you with an equivalent for nothing.
