Very nice diagram. When I first removed these "Evil Clips," I had some learning to do. Now, they are relatively easy to reset. These things are very easy to loose.

Lol where can i get spare retaining clips for the IS F? Does Sewell sell them or where can i get some? I already lost 1 while popping the hood to remove something. Id best keep plenty spare in my trunk just in case. Any help or a nudge in the right direction would be helpful!

Thanks

Chris

Dudes, just push down on the top part until it clicks. Then you can pull them out.
