Tupperware removal manual??

[pitzerwm]

I just got the Good 2014 RT manual from the guy on Ebay, but I don't see anything about removing the tupperware. Is there a manual somewhere that us lowly people can buy/get/ borrow?

Maybe that is why the dealers charge so much, their people learn by trial and error.

Bill, each section will tell you what body panels you need to remove. In front everything starts with the mirrors. You need a 30 Torx for most everything, there are a few 10 mm bolts tossed in to spice things up, and of course a ton of push pins.

A pair of push pin pliers is a very inexpensive but useful tool. I got mine from a Car Quest auto parts store because all the ones in my local Harbor Freight were junk with every pair having misaligned, jagged jaws.

:agree: This is clearly a case, where reading the manual DOES help! :D :thumbup:

The body panel removal is in there. Each according to its own section.

The manual is arranged by items. Pick a panel, look it up and it will tell you how. Starting with a list of items that need to be removed first. Start with the first one on the list, look it up and follow those instructions. They clearly show where each fastener is located etc. Part of the difficulty is knowing what the panels are called. None are called tupperware.....

Jay, a friend of ours had a pair of those that came with a Polaris tool kit, Joe tried to buy a pair at Polaris and they wanted way too much for them. Thanks for the heads up on Car Quest we will look for them there. Of course, a flat tipped screw driver works but Joe is from the school where the guy with the most tools wins. :roflblack:

:agree:...with Joe,.........Ann I make these for friends ......if you want one PM your address and I'll send it to you..............Mike :thumbup:

What I did was make your own. It is very easy to do by taking an old pair of needle nose pliers and grind down the tip and then notch them to make a tool that easily removes these pesky plastic rivets!

Hey, another member of my team! A guy can never have enough tools. They are Lisle and cost about $13. Junk Harbor freight were about $10.

[CapeSpyder]

Spyderpops has the push pin package for sale, and Amazon has different choices for the tool.

With all this talk about removing body panels, everyone should make sure they have spares of the mirrors mounts and clips. The mirror mounts we often hear get broken when the mirror is removed. Buy spares and keep them in the Spyder, you never know when you will need them...

That sounds like a great idea, especially since every time I take something off I'm holding my breath, but where can I find them, and what am I looking for? I get the feeling that if I just walk into a auto part or hardware store and show them a picture of the clip, they're gonna scratch their head and say "you want what?"

watch this video until you have it memorized then refer back to it often.

I may need to remove ALL of my body panels. I've had the decorative paint changed, and would like to clear coat it. I have been advised that it would be best to remove all panels - frunk, trunk, bags, etc... is this almost impossible? Would it be feasible to just remove the side panels and tape up around the headlights, etc.? Advice, please; I've never had any vehicle painted before, and have no idea what I should be looking at.

I bent the jaws on the harbor freight tool using a vise and hammer to suit my hand, and then ground and polished the jaws to where they meet nicely. I've also used the paint can lifter and it works well and could be polished (sanded) and little to be my second choice. A guy can't have too many tools for his travel or home tool kit!!:clap:
