Side Repeaters

I'm going to get some new side repeaters, but I'm not too sure how the old ones come off, I don't want to break them (which I would no doubt if I tried) Is there a technique to it?

Cheers

Push in slightly... and push towards the front of the car?

as above, although i broke one clip of mine whilst doing so, try sliding a kitchen knife gently down the side to prise it off if it gets stuck.

Yes, push forward but two things will help.

1) if you warm it with a hair dryer its far less likely to snap the plastic as it will be less brittle

2) put some soapy water round it with your nail or other blunt instrument and it will slide forward in a controlled manner then rather than going.....

POP! followed by (~@}%**!!!! ****!)

So basically, sounds silly but, avoid doing when its really cold.
