Boot Studs

[chippiepilot]

Can anyone advise the best way of taking out the black studs holding the boot liner in place without damaging them? I need to remove it to remove/return the boot solenoid

many thanks

You need a trim panel tool, but to be honest they strip and never go back in well, so get some more from Maserati, they can't be more than a tenner each ;-)

I have this one but it struggles to get into tight corners, I think I got it from Wollies:

If buying again, I would go for this kit at a £15, rude not too:

They are plastic, so metal ones would be better:
