drop the front bumper molding

Guys there has to be a better way to get behind the clips that hold the bumper in place. I was shown how to pry the edges above the wheel wells and give it a firm violent yank downward!

does anyone have a more friendly way to do this, maybe with a plastic pry tool perhaps

thanks

I found that a plastic trim removal tool kit, which is cheap on Amazon works better than yanking. Slide the plastic trim removal tool kit, along the edge and the trim removal tool kit will pop each clip one by one. A heat gun set to low can also soften clips before you pry them loose.
