Abstract: A window reveal is secured to an aircraft interior sidewall panel by a plurality of clips. Each clip engages a tab on the reveal. A method for removing the reveal includes using a tool to disengage the clips. The tool includes a tapered portion having tips separated by a notch. Using the tool includes inserting the tapered portion into a slot in the reveal with the tab received in the notch, and pressing the tips through the slot until a back of the notch abuts against the tab and stops the movement of the tips. The notch has a depth that allows the tips to press against the clip, yet stops the tips from damaging the clip.
