These parts are held on by plastic clips -- so even with the correct proceedure it's likely that at least
some 19 year old clips will break. I broke several of mine while doing some touch-up work. They are very reasonable from the dealer: a dollar per or close to that. I'd suggest going or calling, and getting several of each kind. It'll be $10 well spent, and awefully handy to have a couple of spares in your parts bin.
Just my 2 cents. After adjusting for inflation... still arguably worth that.
