is there any easier way to pop the trunk lid liner pins out? i hate using a flathead, my fingers burn.

 

I usually pop them off with a flat-head screw driver which messes them up. The only other way I had luck with is get some mechanic gloves or anything with some rubber grip and some needle nose pliers.

 

I just pull the liner, they should come off pretty easy

 

try using a Fork....yea like the one you eat with, i know it sounds funny but it works the best!
i guess you just slide the fork under the pins and the thread of the pins is between the fork 'rails' and then just pop it out, very effective

 

hope it doesnt bend.

 

I use a big long ziptie and slide it through, then pull it off with a glove on. I will try the fork thing.

 

Pick up a trim tool from the auto parts store, they come in different sizes so be aware, I have one but some pins are at extreme angles and hard to get.

 

Im trying the fork also

 

no $$$$

 

I just used a chizel. Works pretty good

 

Get a panel popping tool from your local auto parts store. It's a great investment. I have a couple different sizes and i use them all the time.

 

Is there an echo in here?? LOL.

The fork trick works well. If you have one of the generic wire crimper/strippers that come with a pack of connectors, these also work well provided you have room to put it between the jaws after the center pin (not where you would crimp, in other words).

will tryyyyyy and now does anyone know of any vinyl tape i can use to fill up the spoiler holes on my millenium silver metallic trunk??

 

Not sure if it's millenium silver metallic, but it's shiny and vinyl. Is this a permanent fix, or are you just trying to get by until you can have them filled in professionally and repainted?



Oh yeah, including the link would be good...D'oh!!
