On the other hand, if you don't know how the clips are situated, you may not get them to work properly. I found it easier to disassemble my dashboard, and I needed to do some other things behind it anyway. Once I had the dashboard apart, it was easy to see how the clips were supposed to work. If you have never seen them before, never worked the tool, it may not work for you. Good luck.
