   Ive had a look and maybe im being blind , But how do you fit new clips for the exterior trim is there a special tool?
   
   Had my struts swapped yesterday and the Mech lifted the Wheel arch to move the card away from the Jack and the trim came loose and snapped some clips.
   
   Any help greatly appreciated.
