I would not pry it out as it could enlarge the hole in the urethane. It's much better to cut it out. A wood chiesel should work well.

When I replace one on my car, it still would not stay down. So we wound up putting a s all thin washer behind so the ramp portion protruded more. That worked like a charm.

I used an one sided razor

Yep this is the problem.......great post......will I have to remove the whole front piece to install this????? Have not attempted this yet.....I know I will some time for headlight maintenance but have avoided it till now.

I did not remove the whole front piece.. All I did was remove the inner lip bolts... I think there are 3 or 4 ... Once they are off, pry the front piece off .. That will expose the clips..

phylrick

Many Thanks.....I see what you mean. Just need to get parts now.

Don't go to your local dealership as they will try and sell you a dozen ..and tell you that no one sells them individually, which is false.

I bought mine thru a vendor here ...

I bought mine at a local Chevrolet dealership. (4) just so that I'd have spares.

I just replaced my clips yesterday! I also replaced the small wedge shaped clip at the same time. Took all of 5 minutes per side and made all the difference in the world.

and the small ramped fastener is

Are these the same clips I would use on an 07 base coupe because gene culleys homepage says these are for the grandsport or z06. Also how much would it cost for the dealer to do it for me?

Those are the one's I used for my 2007 vert. As for dealer costs ... although it is a fairly simple and quick job, I was given an estimate of $110 dolalrs to do what I did under $10.

Great write up. I ordered my clips from GM Parts House and there were inexpensive. They arrived today. This was an easy fix and took only 10 minutes for one side and I tend to be overly meticulous so you could probably do it in 5 minutes.

Just replaced the retainer (clip) 11561329 at the dealership this week. Cost was $19.46 and if they screw it up, they fix it.

Hey guys I'm in the process of changing both the clips and fasteners, but I'm having a hard time looking for the part numbers. Which ones would it be?

http://www.cultragfactoryparts.com/a...-scat?mobile=0

would the stealership be an option to buy all 4 fastener's or is this site better?

Either one will do. they have the same parts, but the dealership may be a tad more expensive, but offset by the extra shipping cost of Cultrag or GM parts direct.
The dealer may want to sell you a package of 10 rather than individuals. Never hurts to ask if he can sell individually.
Just put in the part # in the space at the top of Cultag Performance page, and it will come up with the part name, price etc.
Part #- 11561329 - Genuine GM (ROCKER MOLDING RETAINER) $4.74 each
Part #-11609871 - Genuine GM (BUMPER COVER RETAINER) $0.97 each

I appreciate the info, thank you

take it back to the bodyshop and make them do it over, or do you just pay for nothing?

I have replaced all the clips and it still pops up. The only Way I can see to "fix" it is a whole new front clip or two 3" deck screws down through this pos.

It is such a cheaply built pos car for what it is supposed to be.

The trick to getting those clips to work is getting the gap where the font fenders and the bumper meet (near the headlights and hood) to as small as possible. If the gap is too wide the clips slip out of the indentation and they will never hold the bumper edges very well.

I had to adjust my fenders just slightly to close the gap a little and that helped a lot.

LV2TOUR...........I went to the Culley site and it shows these part numbers for 2006 and newer............do you know what the part numbers are for a 2005?
