WOW the dealer must have damaged your metal clip, as I took mine apart several times without issue!
I just can not believe how many "Factory Trained idiots" there are out there!!!! Working on our 30-40K vehicles and Ford (all vehicle manufactures) just lets them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats what happened to my Toyota Rav, I took it in and got it back, interior all scratched up, and my work FE has a bunch of broken clips here and there (thankfully it's my work vehicle). Thats why I purchased the removal tool kit posted in 1st post, not to have screwdriver marks, if we all wanted to make these marks with screwdrivers, we could do that ourselves!! We take it to the dealer to get professional work and this is not the case in MANY MANY instances!!!

This is why I created this thread for US owners to fix this our selfs, and not take it to the Butchers! (though I have not tested my personal dealer but nor do I want to).
And we should keep the vehicle Technician bashing to a minimum. You know, they are only human and mistakes sometimes happen. You are painting a broad stroke with your comment. Making it sound like they are all making tons of mistakes and worthless. I agree there probably are some that do not care about their workmanship. However; I am sure there are there are thousands out there that do care. So to keep the civility of this site, please keep these comments to yourself. We don't need to see them here.

Thanks,
