        Hello and welcome, I made a tool to hook into the gap between the panel and wing to pull panel out of clips with an old coat hanger, I never leave home without it.Using a flat blade screw driver you'll just ripple both panels.

            You cannibal Greeney. For the trainspotter Hazet do a tool for it. I will one day get one. The curled hook from a hook and pick set would also do.

                    Absolutely!!.

                    And I ain't paying £40 for the privilege of a tool that does 1 thing it would have to be a leatherman type thing for that money

                          I cant really comment on the price of tools having so much Snap On. Lost my trim removal tool at the scrappy and was quoted 45 plus vat to replace. I'm too old now for all that hence my love now of Aldi stuff and a good trawl round the boot sales for vintage Snap On,Britool and Proto spanners and sockets.

                            My tools are of decent quality. But you use them over and over on other things. The grill remover is a little specific and basic to be that money?
