Inside Job
ok. Just got the MIKbox. Of course, to install it, the instructions read, "remove the left panel in the trunk". I do not want to break any of those neat little plastic fasteners in the liner. So, how do I get the liner out w/out breaking everything.
Oh I can rip out w/the best of 'em, but I want to do this w/surgical precision. Any thoughts???? thx. |

on the newer Benz that have the round fasteners - two piece round plastic with a center section that elongates into a screw. The trim tool remover is a handle with a flat -Y- shaped end. I get mine from EASTWOOD they have a web site www.eastwood.com. They come in both plastic and metal.
The tool just slips behind the entire fastener and as you push it deeper into the -Y- the fastener will pop out. Don't rip at the felt trunk liner cause the liner can tear |
