Tupperware removal manual??
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.
One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

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.

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.

PUSH PIN TOOL

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.

What are they called and where to find 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?"
