Tools and Retainer for DIY Service and Mods

On Tuesday, I went to open the frunk via the button in the bumper but instead the button popped out of whatever clip it's supposed to be held in. The rubber cover over the button is intact. Opened a service ticket just to find out the closest date available was late May. Yikes! It's not a critical issue of course as I can still use the key fob, phone or screen inside the truck to open it but I would love to have it fixed. I live a bit far from a service center and since I would rather not drive that far I opened a chat request to see if they could do a mobile service. No resolution yet on if they will go the mobile route but I found it funny that they requested a video of the issue, so i sent them a video of me filming the underside of the bumper looking at the rubber cover, pressing up and yep the frunk doesn't open, much good info to be gleamed from that. Service really is such an area that needs vastly more resources applied to it if they seem fully booked.

Have been looking for tools and retainers/clips to safely work on stuff and know that if a retainer breaks (because it was stuck too hard) I have spares. Found a great kit on Amazon that comes with everything I need to work on your Rivian.

Turns out one of my clips for the driver side frunk cover - the one you need to remove to take out the tub, was stuck so bad it pulled the head off the body. Got the perfect match in n the set:

It comes with plenty of different ones as well as cable ties that clip into existing holes.

Here is a link to the one I bought:
