I wouldn't try this one yet until you get some 'back up' thoughts but, it seems to me like I read on here once that you could heat the ***** up (with a hair dryer) and gently pry them off maybe? I think the heat will 'goo' up the adhesive holding them on and allow for easier removal...

Again, I wouldn't try until you get a second opinion on that though... I might be thinking of something else... my mind is full of mounds and mounds of 'poo'.

The a/c ***** are easy, well if you can get a grip on them, that is. Just grip them as hard as you can, then wiggle them while pulling at the same time. Point them to the straight up position, and push up on the tallest part of the ****, and pull like hell. If they're really tough, you can use a small pair of vise grips with a terry cloth rag to pad them. Good luck! Not sure on the radio ****, though.,,,98

Talking TRYED AND PROVEN!

I pulled the a/c ***** off with a pair of channel-lock pleirs and a rag.They came off pretty easy.The radio **** came off with just a little tug of the fingers.
