1-Has anyone with a montero sport used panel remover tools without issue?
2- If youve used removal tools how did they work and what brand?
3- How about Harbor freights panel removal tools. Has anyone used those?

 

I have something similar to this one:
Most of the time I only use the straight one and it definitely works well.

 

what panels have you used it on?
I want to remove all leather panels,so the doors at minimum. I havent really looked thatt close yet as what is removable.
What tool and company did you get it from?

 

thx. It looks like its just the door panels have leather.

 

All five doors.
There are several "hidden" bolts and screws that help holding the door pannel in place. There is a small screw (covered with plastic plug) near the top of the door pannel. It is only visible when door us open on the door jamb side of trim. Additionaly, two bolts hold the door handle. The rest of the door pannel is fastened with plastic clips for which this tool is designed.

 

When i input the ref # you posted,on the left I get 3 tools in one set for about $20 Then followed with a couple more tools to the right,,just for ref.. Of those 3 tools that are together as a unit for $20,do you recall which was used for at part of the door panel. I have to ask cause when I jump into something blind with zero experience Ill end up using the wrong tool and tearing something,then theres no going back.

 

My set came as 3 tools. The only one I really use on Montero and my other cars is the one with the handle and a "straighter" business end (not the U-shaped one). Didn't use the little flat black tool at all. From what I understand, it is for removing window crank handles, and I don't have those. Sorry if I'm not very helpful with this.

 

is ok,Lot better than startin with the wrong one and not knowing ii then it tears. Thanks Hunter
