| I did my fenderwell intake without removing the plasticy material above the wheel, and was wondering how do you guys pull out the little tabs, I tried to get one out with a flathead screwdriver, and accidentally broke one of them off with it still holding the plastic in place..... | |

| Serious, that's what I use. The pop-up fasteners do break from old age. I went to the dealership and asked for a deal on 20 of them - got a very good discount, and replaced almost all of mine.
The replacements you see in the auto parts aisle aren't exactly the same. OEMs fit the best. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

| I have that tool also, but I just pried them up slightly with a flat blade screwdriver, then pulled them out with a needle nose pliers. | |

| I've tried to find a match at NAPA and other parts places, and could not. GM uses about 50 different push-lock retainers, all different. If you find out which one NAPA stocks that is the same, please let us know.
