Vendo 63 Door Liner Clips

[Jacko1070]

Hello all........

Ready to start my tear down and I was wondering if anyone had a helpful hint on removing the door liner clips for a vendo 63.   Done some looking around and at roughly a buck a piece, I want to try and salvage as many of these as I can and not destroy them removing them.   Is there a good method to release the clip and keep it usable?

I used a needle nose to pull out enough to get a small flat head in between the clips then pryed slowly. I Did not break any.

Thanks, wasn't sure how brittle they are and usually anything with a "pop" center breaks when removing.  I appreciate the info

Mine were in good shape so I make no promises with yours I do have some extra of both sizes if you break any.

I'll keep it in mind.....thanks again!!  Your machine came out very nice, by the way

TIP...Once you get them out of the machine & you wish to re-use them, be aware that if you try to bend the "wings" they will snap off!...so hold them in a pair of needle nose piers & heat them in the middle ( where the clips are bend from removing them) with your propane torch until it glows dull-red, now let them cool slowly out of the way, & it will make them malleable enough to reshape them so they will once again retain themselves & the liner to the door.
