Thanks for the info, guys - helps alleviate some of the fear before getting into this type of job; I just hate the thought of breaking or scratching something needlessly if someone has been there before.

I will pick up new clips at the dealer later this week and hopefully have the panel reinstalled this weekend. Thanks again!
